Tottenham Hotspur are actively recruiting a lead psychologist for their men's first team as the club struggles with a severe mental block. The Premier League side has endured a disastrous run, sitting in the relegation zone after 15 league games without a win. Head coach Roberto de Zerbi, appointed in late March, has managed just one point from his first two matches.

De Zerbi has publicly acknowledged the need to "change the mentality" at the club, prompting Spurs to seek specialized psychological support. The club's job posting on LinkedIn seeks an "outstanding performance psychologist" to provide evidence-based mental support to elite players. The role involves individual player support, systemic work with coaching staff, and developing a psychologically informed performance culture.

The timing is critical as Spurs face potential relegation after their worst league form in years. With De Zerbi's appointment failing to produce immediate results, the club appears to be addressing both tactical and psychological aspects of their crisis. The new psychologist will need to build trust quickly in a high-pressure environment where results are urgently required.
