Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed two new backroom staff arrivals at Tottenham Hotspur as he prepares for his first game in charge. The Italian, appointed on a five-year contract, will lead Spurs away at Sunderland on Sunday.
The club have announced the arrival of Marcattilio Marcattilii as first team fitness coach and Marcello Quinto as senior professional development phase coach. Marcattilii has worked with De Zerbi since 2015 at Foggia, while Quinto has been part of his backroom team for the past three years at Brighton and Marseille.
They join assistant coaches Bruno Saltor and Andreas Georgson, individual development coach Cameron Campbell and goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte on the coaching staff. Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill will continue to provide support. Spurs are currently 17th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone and without a top-flight win in 2026.
Speaking last Thursday, De Zerbi underlined his commitment to the club, stating he will remain in charge next season 'no matter what'. He added: 'I believe in the players, I think we have to remember who we are and who the players are, because we have very big players and we have to work on their confidence and their qualities.'
