The next season, I’m ready to go stronger.”De Zerbi expects support from Spurs in summer recruitmentThe Tottenham boss revealed that he has a good relationship with Johan Lange and Viani Venkatesham, and admitted that the club’s work on rebuilding the squad starts immediately.De Zerbi also stressed the need to identify not just the right kind of players to add to the squad but also the right kind of personalities.When asked if he feels the club are ready to support him in his recruitment plans, the Spurs boss responded: “Listen, we have a great relationship with Johan and Vinai and the whole board. I have no doubt, but it’s right because I came to start a new plan, a new project, and the plan was not in Sunderland. It was after Everton, staying in the Premier League. My target was very clear at the beginning. I gave all my best. I pushed to arrive at today. From today, we have to start to work. Look, my target when I came was today, to arrive today, after the last game and planning the next Premier League.“I’m sure we have not to change too many players. It’s not right. It’s not right because we are lucky to have a lot of good players, a lot of good guys. I think we have to complete the squad in the best way, with the first level of players, with the right behaviour of the players, because now the qualities of the players are important, but more important is the spirit, the mentality of these players – and now the job starts.”READ MORE: Rating every Tottenham player out of 10 for the 2025/26 season, including 3/10 disappointmentThe post Roberto De Zerbi makes exciting revelation on his plans at Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
