Tottenham Hotspur have appointed former Brighton and Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach.
The Italian tactician has signed a five-year deal, becoming Spurs’ third manager of the season following Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor.
De Zerbi’s immediate task will be to steer Tottenham away from relegation, with the Europa League winners currently just one point above the drop zone and seven games remaining.
The 46-year-old had reportedly been hesitant to take over mid-season, preferring a summer appointment. Tottenham, however, persuaded him to step in immediately.
Sporting Director Johan Lange said: “Roberto was our number one target for the summer and we are very pleased to be able to bring him in now. He is one of the most creative and forward-thinking coaches in world football, and brings with him a wealth of experience at the highest level, including in the Premier League.”
