Tottenham Hotspur have identified Roberto De Zerbi as their primary target to replace interim boss Igor Tudor, and are reportedly willing to offer the Italian coach a "significant survival bonus" if he takes over as permanent manager immediately. It is said that De Zerbi wants to wait until the summer before joining another club, but Spurs are trying to convince the ex-Marseille manager to soften his stance.
Manchester United legend David Beckham has heaped massive praise on interim boss Michael Carrick, suggesting he has brought a level of stability not seen at Old Trafford for a decade. The former midfielder believes his old England team-mate possesses the ideal temperament to lead the club through its current transition and secure Champions League football for next season.
Jermain Defoe has landed his first head coaching role, taking over at National League side Woking. The former Tottenham Hotspur and England striker succeeds Neal Ardley at the Laithwaite Community Stadium following a comprehensive search for a new boss.
Former Monaco boss Adi Hutter has broken his silence on links with the top job at Tottenham. The London club are now looking for their third manager of the 2025-26 campaign after sacking Igor Tudor on Sunday, with the threat of relegation from the Premier League looming large.
Manchester United legend Nicky Butt has urged the Old Trafford hierarchy to pursue a summer deal for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen. The former midfielder believes the Nigeria international would be an upgrade on Benjamin Sesko, who he does not believe has what it takes to be United's long-term No.9.
The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust have demanded a wise managerial appointment following the mutual termination of Igor Tudor's contract. After a disastrous run leaving the club just one point above the relegation zone, fans are urging the hierarchy to hire a manager capable of securing Premier League survival.
