Overview
- Tottenham have advertised a Men’s First Team Lead/Performance Psychologist on LinkedIn, outlining a brief to deliver evidence-based support, work one-on-one with players, and help build a psychologically informed team culture.
- An equivalent position has been posted for Tottenham Hotspur Women, indicating a club-wide expansion of mental performance staffing.
- The move follows De Zerbi’s public diagnosis of a mentality problem in the squad and a 2-2 draw with Brighton that saw a stoppage-time equaliser leave players distraught on the pitch.
- Spurs sit 18th in the Premier League with five matches left and have not won a league game in 2026, with reports placing them two points from safety.
- GB News also reported recruitment for a Health and Wellbeing Executive, and the team next visit Wolves on Saturday in a game that could shape their survival push.
