News Summary

• Tottenham are one point above the bottom three with seven games to go.
• Roberto De Zerbi has been described as the 'final roll of the dice' by the club to avoid relegation.
• The former Brighton boss brings Premier League experience and hopes of a brighter future.
• But his track record suggests it is an approach that requires time and Spurs do not have that luxury.
• He has not surpassed 90 games at another club as head coach and half of his eight managerial jobs have lasted no longer than 30 games.
• His best return in seven games when taking over mid-season is eight points, which Opta's supercomputer predicts would be just enough to stay up.
• He led Brighton to sixth in the Premier League, their highest top-flight finish, earning them qualification to Europe for the first time in their history.
• He was sacked less than three months into the job, winning just once in 13 games, before taking Serie A newcomers Benevento down in 2017/18 after failing to win any of his first nine matches.
