Roberto de Gervi (47), who took the helm of Tottenham, is treated at the highest level in the English Premier League (EPL).

British 'The Sun' recently reported, "Italian tactician De Zerby has signed a large long-term contract with Tottenham to replace Igor Tudor, becoming the second-highest-paid coach in the EPL."

Tottenham, who are reportedly in 17th place in the league, have spared no money to sign Dejerby. His annual salary amounts to 12 million pounds (about 24 billion won). This is the second-largest EPL after Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, who receives 20 million pounds (about 39.8 billion won).

As a result, De Zerby will receive more money than Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (£10 million, £20 billion), who is currently competing to win the league. "Considering that the difference in league rankings between the two teams is 16 steps, it is an unconventional treatment," the media said.

At the top of the manager's salary, Villa manager Unai Emery Aston ranked fourth with 8 million pounds (about 16 billion won). This was followed by manager Arne Slot (6.6 million pounds, about 13.1 billion won), who led Liverpool to the EPL title last season.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is sixth with 6 million pounds (about 12 billion won), half of De Gerby's annual salary. Everton manager David Moyes ranked seventh with 5 million pounds (about 10 billion won), and West Ham's new head coach Nunu Espiritu Santo ranked eighth with 4.5 million pounds (about 9 billion won). West London-based coach Marco Silva Fulham and Chelsea coach Liam Rossini each received 4 million pounds (8 billion won) to form the top 10.

The media said, "Tottenham took a big gamble on the new coach, giving him a long-term contract of five years and a huge salary. This season alone reflects the desperate situation that has already fallen to the bottom by replacing two coaches, Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor," he said.

In particular, Tottenham reportedly did not insert a clause that penalizes salaries even if it is demoted to the Championship (second division) next season. The media said, "Considering that De Zerby has never stayed at a single club for more than three years, it shows the club's tremendous trust."

Tottenham's leadership firmly believe De Zerby is the right man to save the team from the relegation battle. Tottenham general manager Johan Lange said: "Roberto has been our number one target for the summer. "I'm glad to have him," he said. "He is one of the most creative and enterprising coaches in the world of football."
