Tottenham Hotspur have endured quite a difficult campaign at N17 with an irregular sense of playing style producing what has been an equally irregular set of results. Those performances have meant that the chiefs at Hotspur Way have had to shuffle their head coach twice this season, with the latest of them being Igor Tudor, who was relieved of his duties after a series of disappointing performances.

But with the Croat out the door, Tottenham were always thinking more in the long term. It was important to bring someone in who would carry the project for a while at least, and that is where Tottenham brought in Roberto de Zerbi.
