# Tottenham: Sky share De Zerbi to Spurs news

**Sky Sports have shared a [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/)managerial update with the club also ‘looking’ at Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs manager race beginning?

The race to succeed current boss [Antonio Conte](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/antonio-conte/) may already be underway, despite the fact he is currently still at the helm and set to take charge against Nottingham Forest tomorrow.

Spurs’ boss has just a few months remaining on his current deal and their mid-week Champions League defeat to AC Milan has seriously put Conte’s future into question.

It is[widely believed](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/antonio-conte-tottenham-premier-league-29412650) that the Italian won’t stay beyond this campaign and could perhaps leave sooner, with the likes of Mauricio Pochettino and Luis Enrique[linked.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/premier-league-spurs-antonio-conte-fabio-paratici-luis-enrique/)

### The Latest: Spurs ‘looking’ at De Zerbi..

As per[Sky,](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1633823467928956930) backing other reports, Brighton manager De Zerbi is also a contender to take over from Conte.

While the ex-Serie A coach has [claimed](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/next-tottenham-manager-de-zerbi-conte-b2298138.html) he is happy in his current role, as we’ve seen with Brighton’s ex-manager Graham Potter, that can change quickly with the right offer.

The former Sassuolo head coach is enjoying a fine season on the south coast, catching the attention of Spurs and two other top clubs, who are all allegedly ‘looking’ at him according to the broadcaster.

### The Verdict: Phenomenal candidate…

There are many reasons to consider De Zerbi for the role, with one of them being his price.

It has been reported by[reliable sources in Italy](https://twitter.com/86_longo/status/1622750299457835009) that the 43-year-old’s contract at Brighton contains an £11.5 million release clause – allowing Spurs to bypass Brighton demands and negotiate directly with De Zerbi.

Called a ‘[special](https://twitter.com/carlogarganese/status/1610385850969251840)‘ manager by members of the press and [‘incredible’](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1583437407957192704) by Pep Guardiola, De Zerbi’s Brighton are [challenging for Europe](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) and have carried on their trend of overachieving with a small squad.

A promoter of [attacking football](https://www.coachesvoice.com/cv/roberto-de-zerbi-brighton-shakhtar-sassuolo-tactics/) also, De Zerbi certainly stands out as one of the better Spurs candidates.
