Credit: Imago Tue 24 March 2026 10:00, UK Tottenham Hotspur fans have made their feelings clear to the board if the club hire Roberto De Zerbi to be their next manager.Igor Tudor is under increasing pressure at Spurs following their 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, which leaves them just a point above the Premier League relegation zone.Tudor was appointed on an interim basis until the end of the season, but Spurs could sack the Croatian during the international break in a bid to improve their chances of remaining in the top flight.Whilst Mauricio Pochettino is a top target, the club can not afford to wait for the 54-year-old to become available, with the former Spurs boss currently in charge of the American national team ahead of this summer’s World Cup.De Zerbi has therefore emerged as a leading candidate to become the next Spurs manager, with the Italian available having left French club Marseille by mutual consent in February. 📋 Tottenham Hotspur Manager News 📋 Get the inside track on the Spurs dugout with real-time updates on shortlisted candidates, live betting market shifts, and key boardroom decisions.
