Tottenham Confirms De Zerbi Backroom Team for Relegation Run-In

The hires lock in De Zerbi’s preferred setup ahead of a seven-game fight to avoid relegation.

Overview

  • Tottenham confirmed Wednesday that Marcattilio Marcattilii will be first-team fitness coach and Marcello Quinto will oversee senior professional development under Roberto De Zerbi.
  • The pair join assistants Bruno Saltor and Andreas Georgson plus individual development coach Cameron Campbell and goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte, with Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill staying in support roles.
  • ESPN reported that former Italy defender Alessandro Nesta, who had been linked in reports, is not part of the announced staff.
  • De Zerbi was appointed on March 31 on a five-year deal and said he will remain Spurs manager next season regardless of results.
  • Spurs sit 17th in the Premier League, one point above the drop, and De Zerbi’s first match is at Sunderland on Sunday with seven league games left before a first home test against Brighton on April 18.
