Roberto De Zerbi has warned Tottenham's players that their futures at the club are on the line ahead of Sunday's crucial Premier League match against Everton. A point would almost certainly secure safety, given their superior goal difference over West Ham, but defeat could see Spurs relegated for the first time since 1977.
De Zerbi dismissed suggestions that his players do not care enough, instead arguing that they may have suffered too much from the pressure. He stressed that the only way out is to be strong and manage the difficult situation. The Italian manager has arranged for the team to spend the night together before the game to foster the right atmosphere.
Despite a poor home record—10 league defeats this season and no win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since December—De Zerbi remains confident in the squad's quality. He reaffirmed his commitment to stay at the club even if they are relegated, calling it an honour to coach Tottenham regardless of the league table.
