In a twist that could reshape Tottenham’s future, Fabio Paratici has reportedly thrown his weight behind a groundbreaking manager to replace Ange Postecoglou if the Australian is shown the door at season's end.
Paratici, currently sidelined by a worldwide suspension due to alleged financial misconduct from his tenure at Juventus, is expected to return to Spurs in July. Despite the ban, he has continued to offer unofficial guidance, keeping a close eye on the club's dynamics.
Recent reports indicate that Paratici is already strategizing for a possible managerial change, particularly as Tottenham struggles through a dismal Premier League season, accumulating 19 losses out of 35 matches. With the Europa League final approaching, the team's performance could dictate Postecoglou’s fate.
Winning the Europa League wouldn't just signify Tottenham’s first major trophy since the 2008 League Cup; it would also clinch a spot in the Champions League for next season. Conversely, a defeat could seal Postecoglou’s exit, paving the way for the Italian to advocate for Roberto De Zerbi.
Who is Roberto De Zerbi?
De Zerbi is rapidly emerging as a stellar candidate for the role. His recent success at Brighton, where he led the club to its first-ever European qualification, showcases his potential to drive Spurs back to their winning ways. He deemed that accomplishment 'more prestigious than winning the Premier League with a big-six club.'
After a fruitful stint with Brighton, De Zerbi shifted to Marseille last summer, establishing the French side as the runners-up in Ligue 1 behind dominating PSG.
Despite speculation that Andoni Iraola from Bournemouth may be a frontrunner due to Daniel Levy's preferences, Paratici’s anticipated return might shift the decision-making dynamics within the club's hierarchy.
Excitingly, De Zerbi is reportedly open to a Premier League return, suggesting that he may be willing to take on the challenge of reviving Tottenham's faltering fortunes.
What’s Next for Spurs?
With uncertainty looming over Postecoglou’s position, and Paratici ready to assert his influence once more, the coming weeks will be critical for Tottenham. Fans are left eagerly awaiting to see if De Zerbi will take the helm and lead Spurs into a new era of success.
