According to Sky in Italy, Roberto De Zerbi is not anticipated to take a position at Tottenham or any other club until the season concludes.
The 46-year-old coach plans to extend his break from football after his departure from Marseille last month, opting to assess his options during the summer.
This decision is not specifically a dismissal of Tottenham’s interest, as they consider De Zerbi among several candidates for the role of permanent head coach.
De Zerbi remains confident in his decision, as reported by Sky in Italy, despite receiving offers from various clubs since leaving Marseille, which is why he is not expected to return to coaching until next season.
However, it remains uncertain if any developments, particularly regarding interim head coach Igor Tudor’s future during the international break, might alter his stance.
Spurs Explore Options After Home Defeat
Following a disheartening home defeat to Nottingham Forest, which has left Spurs just one point above the relegation zone, the club is reportedly exploring all available options moving forward.
Postecoglou Reflects on Spurs’ Struggles
Ex-Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his difficulty watching the team struggle against relegation in the Premier League.
Almost a year after winning the Europa League as head coach, Postecoglou remarked that the current situation is “beyond the realms of possibility.” He conveyed his ongoing investment in the club, stating he was “still very much invested” due to his connections with players and staff.
Postecoglou described the experience of watching Spurs as “uncomfortable” and emphasized that the connection he formed during his tenure would persist. He urged that while the club is in a challenging fight, they have the talent to overcome their current predicament.
Atletico’s Uncertainty Over Romero
Atletico Madrid appears hesitant about pursuing Cristian Romero again this summer, according to Sky Sports News.
Despite their previous interest last summer, sources indicate that not all decision-makers at Atletico are convinced about the Argentina World Cup winner, especially given Spurs’ difficult season.
Although Atletico manager Diego Simeone expressed admiration for Romero, concerns over cost, the Premier League status of Spurs, and the player’s openness to a move will play crucial roles in any potential transfer.
Should Atletico choose to pursue other targets, Romero is likely to attract interest from several top clubs, making his future one to watch as the season progresses.
