Tottenham have yet to secure a victory in their first five matches of the 2026/27 Premier League season. This summer, the club splashed almost £400 million on new signings, and after a painful 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, questions have arisen regarding head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
However, many fans continue to back the Italian. They are resistant to another managerial change, remembering that it was De Zerbi who saved the team from relegation to the Championship last season.
In terms of performance, Spurs appear to be improving. The side has shown better possession and attacking intent, but experts have pointed out issues with misfiring forwards and a touch of bad luck in front of goal.
Football insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the club's hierarchy remains calm and will not rush into any decisions.
This summer, Tottenham chose to support Roberto De Zerbi, believing in his ideas. It's clear that executing all of his plans in one window was unrealistic, but it was still a highly ambitious and expensive transfer window. When I say everything hasn’t gone to plan—for instance, Cody Gakpo was a key target but was unavailable—Tottenham's message remains one of confidence in Roberto De Zerbi. I have no signs that the club is exploring other options. They understand that moving from 17th to Champions League contention will take time, even after significant investment.
The Spurs hierarchy must learn from past mistakes. Regularly sacking managers yields little success, and a full rebuild of a struggling team necessitates time.
