De Zerbi's Tottenham Challenge: Win or Bust

On March 31st, Tynum just locked in Roberto Deserbi as their new head coach on a 5-year deal.

The Italian fresh off stints at Brighton in Marseille, steps in with the spurs, sitting 17th in the Premier League, just one point above the.

Drop zone and win list all season.

Talks wrapped up quick after Igor Tutor bounced by mutual consent over the weekend.

Deserbi was the top pick, though he hesitated at first since there are only seven games left.

No relegation escape clause means he's all in, win or crash.

Fans are split.

The supporters' trust came out against the higher, calling it risky amid the chaos.

Deserbi's got that bold, Guardiola style attack with high press, but his outspoken 5 echoes past spurs bosses like Marino and Conte.

He's thrived under pressure before, taking Brighton to Europe in Marseille to 2nd and League 1.

The first test hits April 12th at Sunderland, then home versus Brighton 6 days later, with Leeds, Everton, Wolves, Aston Villa and Chelsea rounding out the slate.

Injuries and low confidence have gutted the squad, so he needs instant fire to flip losers into fighters.

If he pulls it off, Deserbi's a legend at the lane.

Fail, and he's linked to one of Tottenham's ugliest chapters ever, but with his self-belief, expect him to battle to the final whistle.
