Is De Zerbi the right coach at the wrong time for Spurs?

Roberto De Zerbi can deliver the football Tottenham fans crave. To dare is to do is a fitting description of the Italian’s philosophy. That counts for nothing, though, if he cannot save Spurs from relegation. This is the final roll of the dice. De Zerbi or bust.

Seven games to play and Spurs are one point above the drop. Igor Tudor was billed as a firefighter but only fanned the flames of a first top-flight relegation since 1977. The prospect of De Zerbi's appointment - with talks between the two parties progressing well - is exciting, but is he the right coach at the wrong time?
