Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly interested in hiring Roberto De Zerbi as their new coach following Igor Tudor's departure. De Zerbi has shown reluctance to take the role due to the team's precarious position above the relegation zone. To alleviate his concerns, discussions have included a release clause in his contract that would allow him to leave if the team is relegated. Despite De Zerbi being open to the idea, there is significant backlash from Spurs fans regarding his potential appointment, particularly due to his defense of Mason Greenwood.
