Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur coaching team features several familiar faces from Brighton. Here is a list of people working closely with De Zerbi and Spurs’ first team.
Tottenham Hotspur manager: Roberto De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi replaced Igor Tudor as Tottenham manager in March 2026, with the club in the midst of a worrying relegation battle.
Despite the fears of relegation, De Zerbi committed to the club for the long-term, putting pen to paper on a five-year contract in north London.
The Italian has enjoyed prior success in the Premier League, having guided Brighton and Hove Albion to European qualification for the first time in their history in the past.
De Zerbi faces a mammoth task to keep the Lilywhites in the Premier League in the final few weeks of the 2025/26 campaign.
