"Tottenham's decision to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach has come with a rare and stringent financial safeguard: a relegation clause that would see the Italian's wages slashed if the club fails to avoid the drop."
"Should the worst-case scenario occur and Spurs be relegated to the Championship for the first time since 1977, De Zerbi's salary would significantly reduce to align with the second tier of English football."
"Despite the high-profile nature of the hire, the appointment has been met with backlash from the fanbase, with the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust criticizing the board for hiring a manager who publicly defended Mason Greenwood."
"De Zerbi arrives at a fractured club with troubles on and off the pitch, where the relegation clause in his contract feels less like a formality and more like a looming reality."
Roberto De Zerbi has been appointed as Tottenham's new head coach, with a contract that includes a relegation clause to safeguard the club's finances.

Despite the lucrative terms, his appointment has faced backlash from fans, particularly due to his past defense of Mason Greenwood. De Zerbi takes over a club in turmoil, with relegation concerns looming.
