18 Chait, Kathmandu. Tottenham Hotspur has appointed Italian coach Roberto de Zerbi as the new head coach. He signed a five-year contract with the club.

De Gerby, the former coach of Brighton, will face the challenge of saving Tottenham from relegation in the remaining seven games of the season. Tottenham are currently in 17th place in the Premier League and are just one point above the relegation zone.

Even if the team is relegated, there is no provision in their contract to get out (relegation clause). Therefore, in the next two months, it will be decided whether he will be the hero of the club or will be associated with a bad season.

De Gerby said, ‘I am very happy to come to one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. There is a clear ambition for the future of the club, and I am here to fulfill it.’

Tottenham previously parted ways with coach Igor Tudor by mutual consent. De Jerby was the club’s first choice and was immediately appointed after successful talks from Sunday.

De Gerby’s first game will be against Sunderland on April 12. He will then play against his former club Brighton.

Tottenham sporting director Johan Lang said, ‘De Gerby was our first choice. He is one of the best coaches with a modern and aggressive style.’
