Roberto De Zerbi Unlikely to Lead Tottenham Before Season’s End

Roberto De Zerbi Unlikely to Lead Tottenham Before Season’s End

Filmogaz.com reports that Roberto De Zerbi will not return to management before the season concludes. The 46-year-old left Marseille last month and plans to wait until summer to consider offers.

He has said he will evaluate options in the summer, making an immediate comeback unlikely. Filmogaz.com understands he will not accept a role before the season’s end.

De Zerbi’s intentions and status

De Zerbi has been contacted by multiple clubs since his departure. He remains confident in his decision to pause.

Sources say this stance is not a clear rejection of Tottenham. He is simply inclined to wait until next season to return.

Tottenham’s current pressure

Tottenham suffered a heavy home defeat to Nottingham Forest. The defeat left them one point above the relegation zone.

The club is reviewing potential long-term options for head coach. Interim boss Igor Tudor’s position remains uncertain during the international break.

Ange Postecoglou’s reaction

Former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou told Melbourne radio SEN 1116 he still feels invested in the club. He described watching Spurs struggle as uncomfortable and upsetting.

Postecoglou recalled winning the Europa League with Spurs almost a year ago. He said the team needs a “circuit-breaker” to halt the slide.

Cristian Romero transfer outlook

Atletico Madrid are not certain to pursue Cristian Romero again this summer, Filmogaz.com understands. The Spanish club made an approach last summer that did not succeed.

Romero stayed at Spurs and signed a new contract under Thomas Frank. Still, questions about his future remain amid Tottenham’s poor campaign.

Diego Simeone has praised Romero and called him a player he admires. Atletico knocked Spurs out of the Champions League in the last 16.

Sources in Spain say not everyone at Atletico supports a new bid. Key considerations include Romero’s price, Spurs’ Premier League status, and the player’s wishes.

Those sources add Atletico would be reluctant to pay more than £26m (€30m). Romero is under contract with Tottenham until 2029.

Romero, Tottenham’s captain, said he is focused on keeping the club in the Premier League. He said he has “a lot of respect and affection” for the team and wants to finish the season strongly.

If Atletico step away, Romero is still likely to attract interest from other major clubs.
