Chris Sutton claims Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi will take Tottenham Hotspur job
Speaking on the BBC Radio Show 606, Football pundit Chris Sutton has recently claimed that if Tottenham Hotspur were to offer the job to Roberto De Zerbi, the current boss of Brighton & Hove Albion, he would accept it in the summer.
De Zerbi’s name has been mentioned as one of the potential candidates to replace Antonio Conte, who was recently sacked by Tottenham. Despite other high-profile names such as Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique being considered favourites for the job, De Zerbi’s remarkable work at Brighton has made him a wanted man across Europe.
It is no surprise that Tottenham is looking for a new manager after the abrupt departure of Conte. The fans are frustrated with the team’s performance this season, and the club is now seeking a manager who can bring back the glory days.
De Zerbi’s time at Brighton has been commendable, with the Italian manager making a significant impact in a short time. He has them fighting for a place in Europe as well as guided them to the FA Cup semi-final where they will play Manchester United for a place in the final.
De Zerbi’s style of play is attacking, which is a perfect fit for Tottenham’s current squad. He is known for his ability to develop young players, which is something Tottenham desperately needs. Tottenham has some of the best young talents in Europe.
Speaking about the situation, here is what Chris Sutton had to say about the 43-year-old Italian’s chances for the Tottenham job
“He is going to go to Tottenham. If they offer him the job, he is going to go to Tottenham, right?”
During Tottenham’s recent 2-1 win over Brighton, tensions arose as De Zerbi was involved in a heated confrontation with interim Spurs manager Cristian Stellini. Both managers were subsequently sent off after a brawl erupted between the two benches.
It remains to be seen whether this incident has any bearing on De Zerbi’s potential move to Tottenham. But one thing is clear, De Zerbi would be a great fit for Tottenham. He has the experience and the tactical knowledge to take Tottenham to the next level.
