Roberto de Zerbi Has Answered on Mason Greenwood. What Now?

Roberto de Zerbi is here. He led Spurs in defeat against Sunderland on Sunday. Now he is set to take on his former club Brighton in his first home game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow .

I raised my concerns about this appointment prior to it being confirmed. Worries remain. Mason Greenwood related, football related, and personality related. I also thought that when asked in club media about it, de Zerbi handled the Greenwood issue fairly well. Not perfectly. Far from it. Kate Mason articulately explained the problems for The Athletic.

Update: 9 April

The following was written before Roberto de Zerbi was officially appointed as Tottenham Hotspur men’s first team coach. As I explain in this follow-up piece, many of the concerns still remain. However, the Italian has now answered questions on the issue in a manner that I think allows us to move forward. Original article below.

We all heard it. The audio allegedly revealing an assault by Mason Greenwood. There were also horrifying images of injuries. He denies the charges, including attempted rape and assault and they have been dropped.

A revolt at Man Utd stopped his return to the team there. The forward was then taken up by Roberto de Zerbi at Marseille. The Italian now looks set to be on his way to Tottenham Hotspur to replace Igor Tudor.

Arsenal (5) vs Spurs (2) Post-Match Musings: Another Derby Disaster

The problem is, it just keeps happening. Almost every time Spurs Women play one of the “big four”, they collapse. Even getting 3-0 up at Man Utd isn’t enough. Against Arsenal, Tottenham Women didn’t even get that far. Alessia Russo had netted twice before the game had really started.

An own goal by Frida Leonhardsen Maanum got the visitors back into the game. The Gunners, for a few moments, seemed slightly uncertain.

However, that didn’t last long. A disaster at the back ended with ‘keeper Lize Kop passing it straight Alessia Russo, who obviously rolled it into the net. Kop screamed with frustration, but by then it was too late.

Preview: Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Women – Saturday, 28 March 2026, team news

It’s been a big week for Spurs. Olivia Holdt agreed new a long-term contract at the club, followed by Matilda Vinberg . Then, ahead of Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur in the WSL, manager Martin Ho did the same. Can his side round off a hugely positive few days with a historic victory?

Ho said he is “really proud to extend my time at Tottenham Hotspur,” and that “we want to be a team that plays with intensity, clarity and personality, and an environment where people are developed, supported and accountable. There has been progress, but we know there is much more to come.” The Emirates would be a could place start getting to that next level!

What Spurs Miss After Clare Hunt Injury

Fair to say that Clare Hunt has had a breakthrough season. After a difficult time under Robert Vilahamn, she has been resurgent under Martin Ho. Her form was crucial to Spurs’s early season success. However, she missed the Women’s Asian Cup final due to injury.

Following Australia’s defeat to Japan, Spurs announced that Hunt was to have surgery on her right knee. There is no specific information as to what the knee injury is. My understanding is that it’s not an ACL, though. It is also unconfirmed whether she undergoing surgery and rehabilitation in the UK or in Australia.
