'I want to stay for a long time' - De Zerbi at Tottenham #tottenham #englishpremierleague #dezerbi

New Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi spoke of his pride after signing a long-term contract at the club. De Zerbi replaced Igor Tudor, who was fired on Sunday after 44 days of an interim coaching spell that worsened Tottenham’s plight in the Premier League. Thomas Frank started the season as Tottenham’s manager before getting fired on Feb. 11. His replacement, Tudor, lasted just seven matches — losing five of them — before losing his job on Sunday to end his nightmarish month and a half in charge. Spurs, the reigning Europa League champions and ever-presents in England’s top division since 1978, are one point above the relegation zone with seven games left. De Zerbi previously worked in the Premier League as Brighton’s manager and was most recently at Marseille, which he left in February after a disagreement with the French club’s leadership. The Italian's first match in charge will be away at Sunderland on April 12.
