EPL: ‘I’m not better than Frank or Tudor,’ De Zerbi tells Spurs fans
New Tottenham Hotspur manager, Roberto De Zerbi, has struck a humble tone ahead of his first game in charge, telling fans he does not consider himself better than fellow coaches Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor.
Speaking as he prepares to take over amid a difficult period for the club, De Zerbi acknowledged the quality and achievements of his counterparts, stressing that his focus is on improving the team rather than comparisons.
The Italian tactician takes charge at a crucial time, with Spurs battling to avoid relegation and in urgent need of consistency and results.
De Zerbi urged fans to remain supportive, noting that rebuilding confidence and structure within the squad will take time and collective effort.
He also emphasised the importance of discipline, tactical clarity and unity as key factors in navigating the club out of its current struggles.
Observers say his remarks reflect a pragmatic approach, as he looks to steady the team and gradually implement his philosophy in a high-pressure situation.
