New Tottenham Hotspur head coach Roberto De Zerbi will take charge of his first match this Sunday away at Sunderland.
The Italian has had just over a week to work with a squad that has not won a league fixture in 2026 and sits only one point above the relegation zone.
De Zerbi has already finalised his backroom staff, bringing in long term associates Marcattilio Marcattilii and Marcello Quinto.
Despite an extensive injury list including James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario, there is some positive news for Spurs as Pape Matar Sarr is expected to be fit for the trip to the Stadium of Light.
De Zerbi has seven matches to secure Tottenham’s top flight status and avoid a historic demotion.
