De Zerbi Looks to Revive Spurs with Key Player Return
April 3rd, 2026, 11:01 AM
Roberto De Zerbi, the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, is reportedly planning to reintegrate a sidelined player into the squad for the last seven matches of the season.
After taking over from Igor Tudor, who struggled to achieve results, De Zerbi aims to steer the club away from the relegation zone, where they currently sit just a point above the bottom three.
According to journalist Alasdair Gold, one of De Zerbi’s initial priorities will be to bring back Rodrigo Bentancur after his injury challenges. The Uruguayan midfielder is anticipated to regain fitness, potentially playing a crucial role in Tottenham’s attempts to improve their form.
Gold commented on his YouTube channel, expressing a feeling that De Zerbi will appreciate Bentancur’s abilities. While some may find him inconsistent in passing, Gold noted the value of Bentancur’s experience as part of a successful Juventus team, suggesting he might fit well into De Zerbi’s tactical approach.
Upcoming Fixtures for Tottenham
Currently, Tottenham is struggling, having failed to secure a win in the Premier League since De Zerbi’s appointment, earning just one point from a draw against Liverpool.
With a challenging schedule ahead, De Zerbi’s first few matches will be critical:
- April 12 – Sunderland (Away)
- April 18 – Brighton (Home)
- April 25 – Wolves (Away)
- May 2 – Aston Villa (Away)
- May 11 – Leeds (Home)
- May 17 – Chelsea (Away)
- May 24 – Everton (Home)
De Zerbi faces a significant challenge, relying on his experienced players, including Bentancur, to perform and help guide the team through this critical stretch. What are your thoughts on Tottenham’s chances in the remaining matches? Share your predictions in the comments!
