Tottenham Supporter Groups Oppose Reported Move for Roberto De Zerbi

Fan backlash over his past support for Mason Greenwood puts Tottenham’s values under fresh scrutiny.

Overview

  • English media have linked the out-of-work Roberto De Zerbi to Tottenham’s head coach role, though the club has not announced a hire.
  • Three organized supporter groups — Proud Lilywhites, Women of the Lane and Spurs Reach — have posted statements rejecting his possible appointment.
  • They cite his past public defense of Marseille forward Mason Greenwood, who was accused of domestic violence in 2022 before charges were dropped in early 2023.
  • Tottenham sit 17th in the Premier League under Igor Tudor, whose first five league matches produced no wins.
  • Reports add that De Zerbi wants top-flight survival as a condition for taking the job, and UK outlets have also mentioned Sean Dyche as a candidate.
