A storm is brewing at Tottenham Hotspur as furious fans push back against the club’s decision to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as head coach.

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust has openly rejected the move, citing outrage over De Zerbi’s past defence of striker Mason Greenwood.

Fan anger reached boiling point during an emergency meeting where concerns flooded in from supporters.

Alli Speechly of Women of the Lane did not hold back, branding the appointment “unforgivable.”

She warned she would stop attending matches if De Zerbi takes charge, reflecting a growing boycott threat.

De Zerbi had previously defended Mason Greenwood after serious allegations against the player were dropped in 2023.

The striker, now at Marseille, has since rebuilt his career with impressive performances.

However, multiple fan groups, including Proud Lillywhites, argue that De Zerbi’s stance undermines the club’s values.

They insist Tottenham must prioritise integrity, equality, and safety over football success.

Supporters’ Trust secretary Tristan Foot warned the club could face formal backlash if it proceeds.

Despite the uproar, De Zerbi has reportedly agreed to a long-term deal to replace Igor Tudor.

Club insiders say his past comments were reviewed before the decision was made.

The situation mirrors the 2021 controversy involving Gennaro Gattuso, which forced Tottenham into a U-turn

Now, De Zerbi faces an uphill battle—not just on the pitch, but in winning over angry fans.
