The latest Tottenham news reveals something genuinely interesting. Roberto De Zerbi has reportedly told his inner circle that he prefers Tottenham Hotspur over Manchester United this summer. This choice depends on both clubs making a formal approach. Sky Sports broke this story on February 27, 2026. They added one massive detail that changes everything. De Zerbi will only join if Spurs stay in the Premier League.

The 46-year-old Italian left Olympique de Marseille by mutual consent earlier this month. This followed a rough Champions League run with the French side. His sudden availability turned him into one of the most wanted coaches in Europe overnight. Since leaving, De Zerbi has caught the eye of Manchester United. Michael Carrick is currently the interim boss there after the club sacked Ruben Amorim in January. Tottenham also want him. Igor Tudor is currently their caretaker after the club fired Thomas Frank earlier this month.

🚨 Roberto De Zerbi would prefer to manage Tottenham Hotspur over Manchester United next season if he gets the opportunity.
