Tottenham Hotspur, in a statement on Tuesday, said that De Zerbi signed a long-term contract with them.
Tottenham Hotspur announced the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach after Igor Tugor left the team last week due to disappointing play. “I am thrilled to be joining this fantastic football club, which is one of the biggest and most prestigious in the world,” Roberto stated.
“The Club’s leadership has made it plain in all of our conversations that they want to create a club that can accomplish great things in the future, and they want to do so by playing football in a way that thrills and motivates our fans. I signed a long-term commitment to give my all to achieve that goal, which is why I am here.

“He brings a wealth of experience at the highest level, including in the Premier League, and is one of the most innovative and forward-thinking coaches in world football.”
Roberto, who was born in Brescia, started coaching in his home country of Italy after making nearly 300 appearances during a 15-year playing career. He joined Serie A team Sassuolo in June 2018 and gained recognition for his dynamic, attack-oriented, possession-based style of play.
When he took over Shakhtar Donetsk in May 2021, they advanced to the UEFA Champions League group stage and won the Ukrainian Super Cup, which was his first coaching trophy.
