www.bbc.co.ukHere’s the latest on Spurs’ head coach situation.
Answer:
- As of May 2026, Roberto De Zerbi is Spurs’ head coach, having been appointed in March 2026 to replace Igor Tudor, who had been serving as interim earlier in the season. De Zerbi signed a five-year deal and is charged with stabilizing the club in the Premier League and building a long-term project.
Context and timeline:
- Thomas Frank was sacked earlier in the season as Spurs searched for stability on the touchline, with various names linked during the process before Tudor’s interim appointment and eventually De Zerbi’s permanent role. The club’s aim was to secure Premier League safety and reset for the 2026-27 season.
- De Zerbi’s appointment represents a long-term strategic bet by Spurs to avoid short-term fixes and to lay groundwork for sustained competitiveness in the top flight.
Key developments you might want:
