Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi made an unexpected statement ahead of the final matchday of the season. The Italian tactician confirmed his intention to remain in North London even if the club leaves the Premier League and is relegated to the Championship. The manager, who took charge of the team during a difficult period in March, put an end to rumors about his future ahead of Sunday's decisive clash against Everton. This is reported by Goal.com .
The former Brighton boss signed a five-year contract when he replaced interim manager Igor Tudor. In a press conference, Roberto De Zerbi stated that he is ready to continue his project regardless of the position in the standings. "I confirm everything. Being the Tottenham coach is still an honor for me. Even if we fight for survival in the league on Sunday, it is not a problem. I consider football to be more than just a table or the level of play," he said.
Currently, Tottenham is just two points above the relegation zone. A victory over Everton would guarantee their place in the league. If the team drops points, West Ham could overtake them, moving into 17th place and ending the "Spurs" long-standing presence in the top flight.
De Zerbi emphasized that he knew how serious the situation was when he arrived at the end of March. According to him, when the five-year deal was signed, he promised to stay at the club under any circumstances. The Italian's bold stance is expected to be welcomed by fans who are looking for stability after a turbulent period at the club.
