The Tottenham transfer market faces the international break with the continuity of Roberto de Zerbi under pressure after losing 2-3 against Aston Villa and dropping into the relegation zone. The Italian coach has accumulated two points in five matches and has yet to win in the Premier League.

Tottenham enters the break in the relegation zone

The defeat against Aston Villa placed Tottenham in the relegation zone after five games. De Zerbi's team has only managed two draws, against Nottingham Forest and Everton, and suffered defeats against Brentford, Newcastle, and Aston Villa.

The issue also lies in their offensive production. The Spurs entered Saturday's game without scoring in their first four league matches and only managed to find the net twice against Villa, with goals from Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke in the final stretch.

The result followed their elimination from the Carabao Cup against Liverpool. The 3-1 loss at Anfield on September 15 saw them out of a competition, extending their winless streak to four matches before facing Aston Villa.

This situation comes after an investment of over £300 million during the summer transfer window. Tottenham brought in, among others, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Sávio, Omar Marmoush, and Mykhailo Mudryk in a major squad overhaul.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Roberto De Zerbi has called Tottenham the MOST FRAGILE team he has ever coached in his 14-year managerial career.

Roberto de Zerbi's contract complicates any decision

The possible departure of the coach presents an additional challenge: De Zerbi signed a five-year contract in March, valid until 2031. The agreement also does not include a clause to terminate it automatically in case of relegation.

This contract situation adds an economic dimension to any dismissal during the break, which would not exist with a shorter-term contract. Tottenham opted for De Zerbi after the Italian ensured their survival in the latter part of the 2025/26 season.

However, the pressure is already public. Following the defeat against Aston Villa, De Zerbi mentioned a team that is too fragile and inconsistent, expressing his frustration with the players' performances.

The current context doesn't hint at an immediate decision. Days before the Villa match, reports from England indicated that the club still supported the process and De Zerbi's future depended on the results in the upcoming weeks.

The next step will involve internal analysis during a three-week international break, before Tottenham returns to face Manchester United on October 10. This period will allow the board to evaluate De Zerbi's situation and the cost of either maintaining or terminating his contract until 2031.
