Roberto De Zerbi has completed his primary objective at Tottenham Hotspur, guiding the club to Premier League safety despite a severe injury crisis. The Italian manager has overseen 11 points in seven games, a marked improvement on the form that left Spurs in relegation danger.
Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was their first home league win since 6 December. The atmosphere was electric, with a deafening roar at the final whistle as fans celebrated survival. Despite a nervy end, including a fine save from Antonin Kinsky, Spurs held on.
De Zerbi's predecessor, Thomas Frank, had struggled to replicate the success of the manager who won the club's first trophy in 17 years. In contrast, De Zerbi has already made his mark. The squad now requires significant reshaping, but the club's future looks brighter under his leadership.
