Roberto De Zerbi delays potential Tottenham Hotspur move until summer
Roberto De Zerbi has delayed a potential move to Tottenham Hotspur until the summer, dealing a blow to the London club as current manager Igor Tudor faces mounting pressure.
The Premier League side are actively exploring their managerial options with Tudor expected to depart before the end of the month.
However, their leading candidate for the dugout is reportedly unwilling to accept a new position midway through the current campaign.
Tudor faces uncertain future
The Croatian coach has found himself under immense scrutiny following a turbulent period in the capital.
Reports suggest the current head coach is highly likely to be relieved of his duties in the coming weeks.
Consequently, the Spurs hierarchy have pinpointed the former Brighton and Sassuolo tactician as their primary target to rebuild the squad.
Summer wait required for leading target
Despite being heavily courted by the North London outfit, the 44-year-old insists on waiting until the off-season before committing to a new project.
Journalist Ben Jacobs provided insight into the managerial situation developing behind the scenes.
De Zerbi doesn’t want to join a club at this moment, despite him being a leading name under consideration by Tottenham.
This firm stance leaves the Tottenham board facing a difficult decision regarding their immediate leadership structure.
If the club proceeds with sacking their current manager this month, they may be forced to appoint an interim boss to bridge the gap until their top choice becomes available.
