Tottenham’s Bold Bid: A New Manager Set to Lead the Rebuild
30 March 2026
Context
Tottenham Hotspur have floated an enticing approach to a candidate coach to replace Igor Tudor, who is no longer at the helm. The club announced Tudor's departure by mutual consent with immediate effect and confirmed that Tomislav Rogić and Riccardo Ragni have moved from their posts as goalkeeping coach and fitness coach respectively.
Development
According to Sky Sport Italia, Spurs have formally tabled an offer to Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi, including a contract running for five years aimed at lifting the team from its troubled position in the Premier League. The negotiations accelerated after Tudor's dismissal just 44 days into his spell, and De Zerbi reportedly indicated openness to the London proposal in recent hours, despite the club sitting seventeenth and facing relegation fears.
The deal reportedly includes guarantees on future investments to strengthen the squad's competitiveness, persuading the former Marseille and Brighton coach to consider taking charge of a side fighting to stay up. In the coming hours, a final agreement is expected, as other candidates such as Sean Dyche and Adi Hütter fade from consideration.
