De Zerbi has appointed Nesta as his assistant manager at Tottenham

Following his departure from Marseille, the Italian manager could return to the Premier League.

Roberto De Zerbi calls – will Alessandro Nesta answer?

Tuttosport reports that De Zerbi is trying to persuade Nesta to join him in London as his assistant in Tottenham’s coaching staff.

The former Milan and Lazio defender has been out of work since last season, which ended with Monza’s relegation to Serie B: a league where he previously managed Reggiana, Frosinone and Perugia after beginning his coaching career at Miami FC in the United States following his retirement from playing.

Following his departure from Marseille, De Zerbi had decided not to accept any further offers this season. But Tottenham are managing to change his mind, as they seek to bring him back to the Premier League after his two-year spell in charge of Brighton.

The London club is on the hunt for its third manager of the season, and fourth in the last year. Indeed, despite winning the Europa League, Ange Postecoglou was replaced by Thomas Frank, who was then replaced by Igor Tudor, who now leaves the team fourth from bottom in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.

Tottenham are offering De Zerbi a five-year contract worth £12 million per season, plus a signing bonus and a bonus should the team avoid relegation.
