Roberto De Zerbi has been in charge of Tottenham for less than half a season, but already seems to have more power and influence at the club than almost any manager before him. So, who is he, what makes him tick, and could he be the next Mauricio Pochettino? Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke and Dan Kilpatrick, with Italian football expert James Horncastle, to get under the skin of Spurs’ new manager. We look at De Zerbi’s journey into management, his distinctive footballing philosophy and the personality behind the touchline intensity. Plus, we look at De Zerbi’s impact on the team so far. Does he deserve more credit for keeping Spurs up last season? Is the kinder, gentler version of De Zerbi here to stay, and what still needs to improve on the pitch?
