Roberto De Zerbi said he will stay at Tottenham Hotspur even if the club is relegated on Sunday, keeping the focus on spurs game today against Everton at N17. Tottenham go into the final day of the 2025–26 Premier League season with their top-flight status still on the line.
De Zerbi on Tottenham
When asked about his future, De Zerbi said, "Yes, I confirm everything," and added, "For me, it’s still an honor to be a coach for Tottenham, even if on Sunday we play for th". The wording leaves no doubt about his position before kickoff.
That matters because Tottenham signed him to a five-year contract after Igor Tudor’s 44-day tenure ended, and the club has won twice under De Zerbi. The managerial situation had become part of the survival story long before Sunday, and now it is settled for the immediate future by his own public pledge.
Everton at N17
Spurs face Everton on Sunday afternoon at N17 after missing the chance to all but preserve their top-flight status in Tuesday night’s visit to Chelsea. They still control their own destiny: a point will be enough unless West Ham United beat Leeds United by 12 goals at the London Stadium.
That scenario gives Tottenham a clear target rather than a full-scale scramble. One point closes the door unless West Ham somehow produce a 12-goal swing, and that is the margin now separating relief from relegation to the Championship.
Tudor, Chelsea, and the endgame
The pressure around this final day has its roots in the collapse after a 3–0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest ended Tudor’s spell, then De Zerbi’s arrival brought a five-year deal and two wins. The Chelsea trip on Tuesday night was another missed chance to settle the issue before the last match.
What Tottenham need now is simple: avoid leaving their fate to anyone else. De Zerbi has already drawn the line on his future, and the only thing left for Spurs is the point that would finish the job against Everton.
