Italian Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly set to become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur. Journalist Nicolo Schira broke the news on social media platform X. According to the source, the Italian will sign a five-year contract in London.

De Zerbi previously managed in the English Premier League with Brighton. His most recent role was with French club Olympique Marseille, which he left in February of this year. De Zerbi has also had stints managing Shakhtar Donetsk, Sassuolo, Benevento, and Palermo.

Tottenham sacked Igor Tudor on Sunday, who had only been appointed on February 14th, becoming the team's third manager this season. The club had previously parted ways with Dane Thomas Frank and Australian Angelos Postecoglou. The 'Spurs' currently sit 17th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.
