Tottenham Hotspur are aggressively pursuing Roberto De Zerbi to become their new manager before the end of the season, according to ESPN sources. The club, currently languishing in 17th place in the Premier League just one point above the relegation zone, has parted company with Igor Tudor after a disastrous 44-day tenure. Tudor won only one of his seven games in charge, failing to stem the decline that has seen Tottenham win just one league game since December 28th.

Spurs are now accelerating their search for a successor, with De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino identified as the top targets. While Pochettino is committed to the USMNT for the World Cup, De Zerbi, who previously managed Marseille and Brighton, had initial talks with the club and indicated openness to joining at season's end. Tudor's abrupt departure and the club's precarious position have made the search urgent.
