Tottenham Hotspur players stunned by what Roberto De Zerbi has already done at training ground

"The squad is said to have responded positively to the Italian's methods, which is more than can be said for Tudor's short time at the club."

"Tottenham's players are said to understand why Pep Guardiola rates De Zerbi so highly, such that he was once touted as the Catalan's natural successor."

"The decision-makers in north London will be breathing a sigh of relief at these reports, given BBC Sport reported that he has no relegation clause in the five-year contract they handed him."

Roberto De Zerbi has made a strong impression at Tottenham Hotspur shortly after his appointment. Following a poor interim period under Igor Tudor, Spurs needed a quick turnaround. Players have responded positively to De Zerbi's coaching, reportedly finding it superior to previous managers. His reputation is bolstered by Pep Guardiola's endorsement, and the club's management is relieved as De Zerbi does not have a relegation clause in his lucrative contract. He is set to lead his first match against Sunderland soon.
