Spurs appoint Roberto De Zerbi as new head coach
Former Brighton boss returns to the Premier League to replace Igor Tudor
www.premierleague.comTottenham Hotspur’s head coach situation is in flux. The latest widely reported development is that Roberto De Zerbi was named the new head coach in March 2026, succeeding Igor Tudor, with a multi-year deal. There have also been late-2025 reports that Thomas Frank could step in previously, but the more recent and official update points to De Zerbi anchoring the role for Spurs in the 2026 season.[3][4]
Key points to know right now
- Current head coach: Roberto De Zerbi, appointed March 2026, on a multi-year contract.[3]
- Context: De Zerbi’s appointment followed the departure/transition of the previous coach as Spurs prepared for continental competition and a new project slate.[3]
- Notable alternatives: In 2025 there were reports tying Thomas Frank to Spurs, but those did not prevail as the final appointment; instead De Zerbi took the job in 2026.[4][7]
