Tottenham Hotspur has reportedly delivered a firm ultimatum to Roberto De Zerbi, granting the Italian manager a limited window of 24 to 48 hours to formally respond to their contract offer. This pressing deadline underscores the North London club’s urgency to secure their new head coach.
Spurs Push for Swift Agreement with De Zerbi
The club is eager to finalize an agreement with De Zerbi, who became a free agent in February after his contract with Marseille was terminated by mutual consent. He has emerged as Tottenham’s leading candidate to fill the managerial vacancy left by Igor Tudor, who departed the club on Sunday after a short tenure that saw only one victory in seven matches.
While Sky Sport’s Gianluca Di Marzio previously indicated that the “next few hours” would be critical in De Zerbi’s decision regarding Tottenham’s proposal, La Gazzetta dello Sport’s report provides a more precise timeframe for his expected response.
Interestingly, just a few days prior, the former Sassuolo boss seemed inclined to wait until the start of the upcoming season before committing to a new club. However, Tottenham’s persistent and accelerated pursuit has evidently prompted him to reconsider their offer with greater immediacy.
