Tottenham fans finally know when they will hear from Roberto De Zerbi amid wait for Kudus news

2 hours ago 21

Journalist Alasdair Gold has now revealed when Roberto De Zerbi’s first pre-match press conference as Tottenham boss is set to take place.

After a three-week break from Premier League football, gameweek 32 is set to return this Friday when West Ham United take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.

A victory for the relegation-threatened Hammers could see them leapfrog Tottenham Hotspur, who could then fall into the relegation zone before they face Sunderland on Sunday, April 12.

Such an outcome will only pile pressure on new manager Roberto De Zerbi, who has been tasked with helping Tottenham avoid relegation in the final seven games of the season.

Tottenham confirm Roberto De Zerbi press conference time before Sunderland clash

The former Brighton manager has also conducted his first interview in Tottenham colours, where he provided an insight into what fans can expect under his guidance.

Up next for De Zerbi, before he takes to the pitch against Sunderland, is his first pre-match press conference as Spurs boss.

Alasdair Gold has now confirmed that Roberto De Zerbi will hold his first press conference as Tottenham head coach on Friday at 1.30pm, where he will preview the Premier League game against Sunderland.

Spurs must respond as relegation threat grows under Roberto De Zerbi

Securing a win is absolutely crucial for the new Tottenham manager, as it will ease some of the tension around Spurs.

Victory against Sunderland could see Tottenham climb as high as 15th place, but only if Leeds United and Nottingham Forest lose their respective games.

However, given their winless run in 2026, De Zerbi will be looking to halt the slide, with Tottenham currently on course to match or surpass Derby County’s record of 18 games without a victory at the start of a calendar year. Should they reach that mark, it would all but seal their relegation fate this season.
