Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League (EPL) has appointed Roberto de Gervi (47, Italy) as its new head coach. It is the third announcement of the appointment of a coach this season alone.

Tottenham officially announced on the club's official channel on the 1st (Korea Standard Time) that it had signed a long-term contract with manager DeGerby.

No specific contract period has been announced, but local media in the UK believe Tottenham's club and manager De Zerby have signed a five-year contract.

Tottenham, which replaced manager Engie Postecoglou after the end of last season and started the new season under Thomas Frank, will appoint a third coach this season alone after coach Igor Tudor.

Tottenham appointed Tudor after replacing Frank in February for poor performance, but after only one win (one draw and five losses) in seven games, they canceled the contract again in 44 days.

Tottenham is 17th out of 20 teams with only 7 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses and 30 points in 31 EPL games. It is only one point away from West Ham United (29 points), which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone.

De Zerby began his coaching career in 2014 and was recognized for his leadership by leading Sasuolo (Italy) and Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine). Afterwards, he led the team to sixth place in the EPL by taking the helm of EPL Brighton and Hove Albion, and led the team to second place in the French League 1 when he was coach of Marseille (France).

"I'm very happy to join the world's largest and best club," de Zerby said through the club. "The top priority in the short term is to increase the EPL ranking. I will do my best until the whistle at the end of the season's final game," he said.
