Tottenham have appointed Roberto De Zerbi as their third head coach of the season.
De Zerbi has agreed terms over a five-year contract with Spurs, currently one point above the Premier League’s bottom three, which does not include a relegation release clause.
Spurs are fighting to avoid a first top-flight relegation since 1977 in the final seven games of the season.
In a club statement, De Zerbi said: “I am delighted to be joining this fantastic football club, which is one of the biggest and most prestigious in the world.
“In all my discussions with the club’s leadership, their ambition for the future has been clear – to build a team capable of reaching great achievements, and to do that playing a style of football that excites and inspires our supporters. I am here because I believe in that ambition and have signed a long-term contract to give everything to deliver it.
“Our short-term priority is to climb the Premier League table, which will be the complete focus until the final whistle of the last game of the season. I’m looking forward to getting out on the training pitch and working with these players to achieve that.”
