Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi reiterated his ⁠commitment to the relegation-threatened Premier League club, saying he would stay on ‌even if they were to drop into the ‌second tier of English football.

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tottenham/UDg08Ohm/"]Tottenham[/a] are ‌two points above [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/west-ham/Cxq57r8g/"]West Ham United[/a] in ‌the final relegation spot, and a ‌home draw with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/everton/KluSTr9s/"]Everton[/a] on Sunday in their [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/everton-KluSTr9s/tottenham-UDg08Ohm/?mid=W6HXFFKE"]final league game of the season[/a] ‌would almost certainly be enough to ⁠ensure their ‌survival, as the North London club have a ​superior goal difference.[/p][p]However, if they lose to Everton and West Ham ​beat [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/leeds/tUxUbLR2/"]Leeds United[/a], Tottenham could be relegated from the top flight for the ⁠first time ​since 1977.[/p][embed guid="bbd8b1a8-d07c-4d6f-9ee4-2767147b2bae" url="https://x.com/SpursOfficial/status/2058261681726198036" social-type="twitter" /][p]In April, De Zerbi said he would remain in charge of the club next season regardless of results. When asked ‌on Friday if he would stick to his word, the Italian told reporters: "Yeah, I confirm everything.[/p][p][b]“It’s still an honour to be a coach for Tottenham, even if on Sunday we play for the relegation fight, it’s not a problem. I consider football something more than ‌the (league) table...[/b][/p][p][b]"We are fighting for something ​very important for everyone. It is ‌football. But we have enough quality. To attack the pressure, you have to find the valour inside of yourself, to understand the situation and force ⁠yourself to ⁠give your best."[/b][/p]
