Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced talks to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their next manager after parting company with interim coach Igor Tudor, sources report.
The club sit 17th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone with seven games left, and have reportedly offered De Zerbi a long-term package â widely reported as a five-year contract with a substantial salary and a possible relegation release clause.
De Zerbi, who left Marseille in February and previously managed Brighton, had said he preferred to wait until the summer but has performed a Uâturn amid heavy persuasion.
The move has provoked protests from several Spurs supporter groups including Proud Lilywhites, Women of the Lane and Spurs Reach because of De Zerbiâs public defence of Mason Greenwood while at Marseille.
Former players and pundits are split on whether his possession-based, high-risk style can deliver immediate survival.
Tottenham aim to have a new coach in place before their next league game on April 12 against Sunderland; failure to avoid relegation would carry major sporting and financial consequences for the club.
