Roberto de Zerbi Says He's 'Not Better' Than Previous Tottenham Coaches
New Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi says he is "not better" than his predecessors Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor as he prepares to take charge of his first game. De Zerbi started work last week at the struggling Premier League club.
Roberto de Zerbi made a humble first impression as Tottenham's new manager, saying he considers himself no better than the coaches who recently failed at the club.
"I am not better than Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor because I consider them very good coaches," de Zerbi said as he prepares for his first game in charge of the Premier League strugglers.
De Zerbi started work last week, becoming Tottenham's latest attempt to fix their problems. The Italian coach takes over from Igor Tudor, who lasted just seven matches as interim manager after Thomas Frank's departure.
Tudor did introduce man-to-man marking as Tottenham's main defensive tactic during his brief stint, though he struggled to get results. Frank also had difficulties before leaving the north London club.
De Zerbi's respectful tone toward his predecessors suggests he understands the challenge ahead. Tottenham has become known for cycling through managers quickly when results don't improve.
Tottenham fans are hoping a new coach can turn around their team's poor season. De Zerbi's humble approach shows he understands the pressure and respects the coaches who came before him, which could help rebuild trust with players and supporters.
De Zerbi will take charge of his first Tottenham game, with fans watching to see if his tactics can improve their Premier League form.
