De Zerbi a candidate for Man Utd and Tottenham job in 2026-27
The Telegraph reports that Italian tactician Roberto De Zerbi is on Manchester United and Tottenham’s shortlist for the 2026-27 season, but Spurs must first secure survival.
Former Sassuolo, Brighton and Marseille coach De Zerbi is a candidate to become the new coach of Tottenham and Manchester United next season, The Telegraph reports.
According to the report, De Zerbi is keen on the Red Devils job and is among the club’s shortlist of candidates for next season.
The same goes for Tottenham, but Spurs are in a tricky situation currently as they are just one point above the relegation zone.
Their new coach, Igor Tudor, has lost all three of his opening games in charge.
The former Juventus tactician risks being sackedm but he’ll remain at the helm for next week’s Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.
According to the report, both Tottenham and Manchester United directors appreciate De Zerbi’s attacking style of play, but the Italian tactician also has admirers at Manchester City, where he has built a solid bond with Pep Guardiola.
De Zerbi left Marseille by mutual consent on February 11. The French club had appointed him in the summer of 2024.
