With a crucial trip to West London scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, the manager is leaving nothing to chance.
This “no days off” mentality is exactly what Spurs need right now in order to successfully escape relegation.
By choosing to spend his day off analysing a future opponent rather than resting, De Zerbi is demonstrating a level of preparation and obsession that top managers are known for.
Roberto De Zerbi has made an instant impact at Spurs
Since arriving to replace interim boss Igor Tudor, De Zerbi has sparked a significant turnaround in North London.
Before his appointment, Tottenham had endured a staggering 15-game winless streak that saw them slide dangerously in the bottom three.
However, back-to-back away victories against Wolves and Aston Villa have transformed the atmosphere at the club.
De Zerbi has not only tightened the defence with the likes of Micky van de Ven and Kevin Danso but has also managed to get the best out of the depleted Spurs side.
Among them is Conor Gallagher, who had his best game in a Spurs shirt during the 2-1 win over Villa.
As Spurs prepare for their final push to secure Premier League survival, De Zerbi’s hands-on approach is providing the clinical edge they desperately needed.
