Sky Sports pundit Tim Sherwood has said that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy should go all out for Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi.

The former Tottenham boss has said on Sky Sports that De Zerbi is the perfect manager for Spurs.

Sherwood has said that Tottenham should try their best to bring the 43-year-old Italian manager to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the season.

The Independent reported in April that Tottenham are considering appointing De Zerbi as their new manager in the summer of 2023.

Sherwood said: “For me, the perfect man out there who has rehearsed in the Premier League, who I have seen now, if it was me making the decision, I would do everything to get De Zerbi to get him to the football club.”

Potential move complicated

In our view, it is not going to be easy for Tottenham Hotspur to hire Roberto De Zerbi as their next permanent manager.

First of all, Brighton and Hove Albion are not going to let the Italian manager leave.

After all, the 43-year-old was appointed in his role at Spurs earlier in the season.

And given that he has done so well at Brighton, the Premier League club will surely not want to lose him.

Moreover, the Italian manager himself may not been keen on a move to Tottenham.

Yes, we know that Spurs are a bigger club than Brighton, but the North London club also sack managers when things go wrong.

So, that may make De Zerbi think twice about leaving Brighton for Tottenham.
