Tottenham Set to Add Andrew Crofts to De Zerbi’s Coaching Staff

The reported hire would extend De Zerbi’s pattern of bringing trusted Brighton colleagues into his backroom.

Overview

Multiple outlets report that long-time Brighton coach Andrew Crofts is set to join Roberto De Zerbi’s backroom at Tottenham, though the club has not formally announced the move.
Crofts rose through Brighton’s academy to first-team coaching and worked under De Zerbi at the Amex, giving him direct experience of De Zerbi’s methods and training routines.
He has also held interim head-coach duties at Brighton and serves as an assistant with the Wales national team, showing experience across club and international setups.
Reports say Crofts would join existing De Zerbi assistants Andreas Georgson and Bruno Saltor, but his exact role and responsibilities at Spurs have not been specified publicly.
The move fits a wider Spurs reset under De Zerbi that has brought several players and staff with Brighton links as the club finalises its backroom team before the new season.
