Tottenham pinpoint ‘incredible’ new manager target to succeed Conte with Spurs chiefs dazzled
According to reports, Tottenham has recognized Roberto De Zerbi, the current manager of Brighton, as a potential candidate to take over as manager in the event that Antonio Conte leaves the club.
In November 2021, Antonio Conte replaced Nuno Espirito Santo as Tottenham’s manager and led the team to a top-four finish in the Premier League at the end of the 2021/2022 season.
However, there are rumors that he may leave the club despite Tottenham having the option to extend his contract by another year, as he has not yet signed a new agreement.
According to reports, if Tottenham needs to replace their current manager, Daniel Levy, the club’s chairman, may consider Mauricio Pochettino as an option. Recent news has revealed that the club has identified a new target for a potential new manager.
Football Insider has reported that Roberto De Zerbi is now a top candidate for Tottenham to take over as manager if Antonio Conte were to leave the club.
According to the report, De Zerbi has impressed the club’s officials, and the odds of Conte leaving are high. Tottenham is now more likely than not to be searching for a new head coach, with De Zerbi firmly on their radar.
Roberto De Zerbi has been a strong contender for the manager of the season award, given his impressive performance with Brighton, who are currently just outside a Europa qualifying position.
With only four points behind Tottenham, the south coast side is performing well under De Zerbi, and he has received praise from other managers, including Pep Guardiola of Manchester City.
Guardiola has described De Zerbi’s style of play as “incredible.” Given his attacking approach, De Zerbi could be a popular choice among Spurs fans if he were to replace Conte, who is rumored to be leaving.
De Zerbi could be an ideal alternative to Pochettino for Tottenham if they need to find a new manager.
