Roberto de Zerbi has turned Tottenham’s fortunes around in the Premier League in recent weeks
Tottenham have turned a corner under Roberto de Zerbi in recent matches. The Italian tactician has found a way to get the best out of his players, and there is now a renewed belief that the Lilywhites can avoid relegation from the Premier League this season. The recent 1-2 victory against Aston Villa helped the North Londoners climb out of the drop zone, thanks to goals from Conor Gallagher and Richarlison.
Spurs now appear to be regaining momentum and moving in a positive direction. They have done an impressive job of securing crucial points in recent matches, largely due to the new-manager bounce under Roberto de Zerbi. Important victories against Wolves and Aston Villa mean that the Lilywhites simply need to collect more points than relegation rivals West Ham United in their remaining three fixtures. Given the confidence currently within the squad, the North Londoners will believe they are capable of achieving that objective.
De Zerbi has restored belief and confidence within the group. The players now appear willing to fight for the badge, and there is a growing sense around N17 that the squad must maintain its winning momentum in the coming weeks. After going winless in the league during the opening four months of the calendar year, the North Londoners now look on course to secure a third consecutive Premier League victory when they face Leeds United at home next week.
Tottenham heading upwards under Roberto de Zerbi
Tottenham fans have been encouraged by what they are seeing from Roberto de Zerbi’s side in recent matches. Conor Gallagher has also praised the Italian tactician’s influence in the dressing room, claiming that the 46-year-old has focused on getting the best out of players who had struggled for form this season. De Zerbi’s man-management skills have clearly had a positive impact, and the squad now appears ready to fight for the new manager during the decisive stage of the campaign.
Jamie O’Hara has now made a bold claim regarding how well Spurs could perform under Roberto de Zerbi next season, provided they retain their Premier League status. Speaking on Sky Sports (via X), O’Hara said,
“Now, we’ve got the manager. If we stay up with Roberto de Zerbi, we’ll be dangerous next season, and I think we can get Champions League football. We have got a proper manager in charge. I reckon we can get Champions League next season. Listen, we got to stay up. That’s the main priority. But this manager is top-drawer. He’ll get it right.”
Jamie O’Hara believes Spurs could become a dangerous side next season and compete for Champions League qualification under Roberto de Zerbi, provided the club remains in the Premier League. The pundit feels that the Lilywhites have appointed the right manager and believes the Italian tactician is capable of stabilising the situation at N17 if he is given enough time to implement the necessary changes at the North London club.
That said, it is important to remember that De Zerbi’s immediate priority is ensuring Spurs remain in the Premier League this season. With only three matches left to play, the Lilywhites cannot afford any drop in performance levels over the coming weeks. It is crucial that they build on their recent form and secure all three points against Leeds United at home next week. Only then will the North Londoners be in a position to fully focus on their long-term project under the Italian tactician.
