Tottenham could confront staggering financial repercussions if they opt to part ways with Roberto De Zerbi at this juncture. Reports suggest the compensation owed to the Italian manager would amount to around €61 million.
De Zerbi joined the London club on a five-year deal, earning approximately €14 million per season.
Struggling to find form
After four rounds of the Premier League, Tottenham currently sit 17th in the table.
A further blow came with their exit from the League Cup, which happened just recently.
Amidst these struggles, the club's hierarchy may need to make some tough decisions regarding the future of their head coach. However, the financial implications of early termination make such a move particularly daunting.
€61 million for early termination
If the details of the contract are accurate, parting ways with De Zerbi at this point could cost Tottenham around €61 million.
This figure relates to the remaining obligations under the five-year agreement with the Italian tactician.
If confirmed, this compensation could rank among the most significant sums paid to a manager for contract termination, potentially setting a record in football history.
