The Tottenham Supporters' Trust (TST) has issued a statement confirming it cannot support the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi. This follows reports linking the former Brighton and Marseille head coach with the vacant managerial position at the north London club. According to Sky Sports, fan sentiment has soured due to De Zerbi's previous conduct and comments regarding the club.
One supporter told The Guardian that appointing the Italian would be an unforgivable move by the board. The fan, who has held a season ticket for 20 years, threatened to stop attending home matches if the appointment proceeds. TST representatives met with club officials to convey these concerns, noting that the managerial search must align with the club's values.
Tottenham Hotspur is currently seeking a permanent successor following a period of interim leadership. Per The Athletic, the club board remains divided on the short-list of candidates. De Zerbi remains unattached after leaving his previous post earlier this year. The club has not yet commented on the trust's specific objections.
