Roberto De Zerbi - Manager Thread

I'm of the opinion he's a bit of a hot head but so were Maureen and Conte. Both did okay for a spell so there's merit in his appointment. Is he the right man for the long term though? That's one hell of a loaded question that i simply can't answer.
Has he been thr right man anywhere for the long term? He seems like the type of person who would have an argument with his shadow

Difficult for me to respond because i know so little about him. Obviously i know what he can deliver on the pitch, i'm talking his personality traits. He does have merit though, his record is actually pretty damn good but we've all been here before haven't we? He comes in and keeps us up i'll love him long time. I think most will.
 
A Brighton perspective

and KPB's:

Easy to forget he did a stellar job at Brighton and many Spurs fans wanted us to go for him back then. I'm far from thrilled at this appointment, but he's far far more qualified than many of the other names linked.
 
The Manchester City boss previously described the Italian as 'one of the most influential managers in last 20 years' following a brilliant debut campaign at Brighton. In his first season at the Amex Stadium, De Zerbi helped the Seagulls qualify for the Europa League.

In May 2023, Guardiola said: "There is no team playing the way they play - it's unique. I had the feeling when he arrived the impact he would have in the Premier League would be great - I didn't expect him to do it in this short space of time.

"He creates 20 or 25 chances per game, better by far than most opponents. He monopolises the ball in a way it hasn't been for a long time. They deserve completely the success they have."
 
Still it's amazing just how far we've fallen, and I mean 'us' as posters as well as the team.
We're now just looking at this with trepidation really.
The guy on paper looks a good (ish) appointment and certainly better than the previous two.
I suppose we know better than to put the bunting out, it all feels like a damp squib too little too late.
But let's hope he can get us a few wins, if he arrives.
 
On other threads there is a call for an interim manager with Spurs DNA.

Why Spurs DNA?. Bill Nicholson (Yorkshire born) all Spurs DNA; Keith Burkinshaw (Yorkshire born) no Spurs DNA. Both are our all-time most successful managers.

De Zerbi may not have Spurs DNA, nevertheless he is a proven manager, is a blatant tough bugger who knows what he wants and gets it.

I’m backing him; for 2 seasons as least….

Closing note; once De Zerbi is settled, I want Gert n Daisy fired, we can settle with the rest of these bloody concubines later.
 
As far as I’m concerned , I don’t care about his rants , his mannerisms , his love for Greenwood .

If he can gets us above the spammers and keep us there he should be given the freedom of Tottenham.

Nothing he does will work next season , if he isn’t given the players he wants and we get rid of the players he doesn’t.

Otherwise he just joins the Magic Roundabout .

I think I know what the £100 million the chuckle twins chucked on the table was for now , ….. it was a manager war chest . We must be getting near thaf figure now , in payouts .

If he keeps us up , by some miracle , the parade down the High Road will eclipse that of the Europa win .

20 or 25 chances per game? Well I would certainly welcome a 'shoot at will' approach!
