It has been reported that Roberto De Zerbi tried his best to join Manchester United, in what is being said as a failed bid.

It’s been almost a week since Roberto De Zerbi was appointed as Tottenham’s head coach. The 46-year-old Italian arrived after former interim boss Igor Tudor was sacked in just 44 days, as the Croatian managed just 1 point out of a possible 15 in the Premier League.

Elsewhere, De Zerbi parted ways with his former employers, Marseille, in February. He had long been linked with a return to the Premier League, with Manchester United and Tottenham being probable clubs he could have landed at.

Prior to his Marseille stint, De Zerbi had a successful tenure with Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League. In the two seasons he managed ‘The Seagulls’, De Zerbi took them to their best-ever finish in the Premier League, and also helped the club qualify for the UEFA Europa League.
