Tottenham Hotspur are pursuing Roberto de Zerbi to become their permanent head coach following Igor Tudor's departure. The Italian manager, known for his innovative tactics at Brighton, has emerged as the club's primary target as they seek stability after a turbulent season. Spurs are keen to secure his services before the summer transfer window opens.

Other candidates have been considered for interim roles, including Sean Dyche, who is available after his sacking by Nottingham Forest in February. However, Dyche's demand for an 18-month contract could complicate negotiations given Tottenham's relegation concerns. Former manager Mauricio Pochettino remains a popular choice among supporters but his commitments with the USA national team make an immediate return unlikely.

Internal options like Ryan Mason, Harry Redknapp, and Tim Sherwood have expressed willingness to take temporary charge, while current player Ben Davies has also been discussed as a short-term solution. Adi Hutter, recently departed from Monaco, represents another external candidate. The club's hierarchy faces pressure to make the right appointment as they battle to secure Premier League safety.
