Tottenham confirm Roberto De Zerbi backroom staff with just TWO of Italian's key team joining as club battles to avoid relegation

Roberto De Zerbi will attempt to keep Tottenham in the Premier League without several of his usual coaching team.

Only two of De Zerbi’s seven key staff will join him at Spurs for the last seven games of this season.

Those two are fitness coach Marcattilio Marcattilii, who has worked with him for more 10 years since they were together at Foggia, and senior development phase coach Marcello Quinto, a coach who joined him at Brighton .

Others including Andrea Maldera, who was his assistant manager at Brighton and Marseille, and Enrico Venturelli, a familiar figure during their time at Brighton where his roles included helping De Zerbi with translation, will not join him at Spurs for the rest of this season.

Bruno Saltor, who joined Spurs to assist interim boss Igor Tudor in February, will continue as an assistant coach.

Former Brighton defender Saltor left the Amex Stadium before De Zerbi’s arrival and worked with Graham Potter at Chelsea and West Ham .
