The Lilywhites desperately need immediate managerial leadership to escape an absolutely horrific Premier League survival dogfight today.

Staring down the barrel of Championship football creates absolute panic. The N17 faithful are enduring a nightmare scenario. Relegation looms just one point below. The board has exactly seven games to prevent the unthinkable, and now they have more work to do, following the sacking of Igor Tudor.

Fabrizio Romano dropped a massive update regarding the managerial hunt. He revealed fascinating details on his YouTube channel recently. The hierarchy views Roberto De Zerbi as their absolute dream appointment. The respected tactician walked away from Marseille in February. However, it is worth noting that he faced a wave of criticism from several Tottenham Supporters group following his comments on the controversial Mason Greenwood.

Romano explained the situation to anxious supporters. He stated, “My understanding is that the dream of Tottenham remains Roberto De Zerbi.” However, the 46-year-old will want to know which division the club plays in next season before committing.

Tottenham Hotspur identify Sean Dyche and Mauricio Pochettino as vital alternatives amid Roberto De Zerbi negotiations

Failing to convince their primary choice means pivoting to survival specialists immediately. Internal discussions heavily featured Sean Dyche, but it was later laughed off by Dyche himself in a hilarious manner. Amid this, appointing a short term firefighter might become necessary very soon.

Tottenham are pushing, trying to get green light from Roberto De Zerbi for immediate appointment.

Always been top target for summer but #THFC insist to make it happen now as talks are ongoing.

Spurs see De Zerbi as ideal candidate for long term.
