Roberto de Zerbi emerges as a managerial option for Tottenham Hotspur as Antonio Conte saga drags on

According to the Sun, talented Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi has emerged as an option for Tottenham Hotspur with Antonio Conte’s future far from certain.

De Zerbi has impressed in his current role at Brighton, consolidating the foundations laid by his predecessor, Graham Potter. Under the Italian’s leadership, the Seagulls have been pushing for a place in Europe.

It’s clear that he has the tactical acumen and man-management skills to take a team to the next level, which has caught the attention of a number of top teams in Italy. He will be a great addition to Tottenham as well.

Reports suggest that Roma, Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan are all keen to sign De Zerbi as they contemplate their own managerial changes. He has previously impressed in Serie A with Sassuolo and Benevento, and it’s clear that he has the potential to be a big success in one of Europe’s top leagues.

However, the uncertain future of Antonio Conte at Inter Milan could see Tottenham make a swoop for De Zerbi. The 51-year-old Italian has been linked with a move away from the N17 and Spurs might need to start looking at replacements.

De Zerbi to Tottenham is interesting. On one hand, he has shown great potential at Brighton but Tottenham are different fish. We have seen this with Graham Potter who after a sensational time with the Seagulls cannot buy a win at Chelsea.

There is no doubt that De Zerbi has the potential to be a great manager, but whether or not he is the right choice for Tottenham remains to be seen. It’s clear that the club need to consider a change if Conte leaves.

De Zerbi could provide a fresh perspective and a new approach, but he will need to be given time and support to make the transition to a new club. However, he has a very talented squad to work with.
