Tottenham Hotspur’s squad has emerged from their initial training session under manager Roberto De Zerbi with enthusiastic praise, generating a surge of hope for the team as they strive to maintain their spot in the Premier League.

The 46-year-old Italian, who signed a five-year deal earlier this week to replace Igor Tudor, conducted his first training session on Friday at Hotspur Way.

As reported by football.london, the players quickly embraced De Zerbi’s high-intensity training style right from the beginning.

According to Alasdair Gold’s report, the mood within the North London club has transformed considerably overnight. One veteran player called the session “outstanding” in conversations with peers, while others offered commendable remarks about the quality of the training sessions.

Club footage showcased De Zerbi engaging closely with promising talents such as Lucas Bergvall, Mathys Tel—who has returned from injury—and Archie Gray.

De Zerbi’s Main Goal: Premier League Survival

Despite the uplifting atmosphere following the training, Tottenham faces a tough reality. The team is currently positioned 17th in the Premier League, only one point clear of West Ham, who occupy the relegation zone, with just seven matches left to play.
