Roberto De Zerbi, head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, has reportedly made a firm decision ahead of leading his team into tonight's crucial Premier League match.
Roberto De Zerbi, manager of the "Spurs" Tottenham Hotspur, confirmed he will remain in charge next season regardless of whether the club is relegated from the English Premier League to the Championship.
Tottenham will face Everton in the final Premier League match of the season, knowing that if they fail to win, they could be relegated if West Ham beats Leeds.
De Zerbi said, "Yes, I confirm everything. For me, coaching Spurs is still an honor, even though this Sunday we have to fight to avoid relegation. That's not a problem. I believe football means more than the league table or competition level."
"We are all fighting for Spurs' future. I didn't come here when the team was mid-table; this is the situation now. There are more games to play, but the situation hasn't changed much. If I'm here, it's because I believe the conditions are right, with quality and players suited to achieving our goals."
"Then the situation changed because we lost Christian Romero, Saphir Simons, and Dominic Solanke. But I think during my time we have gained 8 points, and maybe we deserved more. We are still fighting to reach our goals, and we must be ready and strong."
"To handle pressure, you have to be clear and honest with yourself. The difficulty level of the games is very high. Okay, we are fighting for something very important to everyone, but that is football."
"We have enough quality. We are playing at home. If it's a tough game for us, it will be equally tough for West Ham."
"West Ham will play Leeds, and I am confident Leeds will perform as they did at Spurs' ground."
"To cope with pressure, you have to find courage within yourself, understand the situation, and force yourself to do your best because pressure is good if you know how to manage it."
