Tottenham has reportedly issued a firm ultimatum to Roberto De Zerbi, giving the Italian tactician a 48-hour deadline to respond to their offer, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The North London club is eager to swiftly secure De Zerbi, who became available in February following the mutual termination of his contract with Marseille.
Spurs Push for De Zerbi Agreement
De Zerbi is identified as Tottenham’s top target to succeed Igor Tudor, who recently departed by mutual consent after managing only one win in seven games. While Sky Sport’s Gianluca Di Marzio hinted that the “next few hours” would be crucial for De Zerbi’s decision, Gazzetta offers a more precise time frame, confirming Tottenham’s 24-to-48-hour window for a response.
Initially, the Italian coach seemed content to wait until the start of the new season for a new role. However, Tottenham’s persistent and urgent approach appears to have made the former Sassuolo boss reconsider their proposition.
