Tottenham Hotspur have moved out of the Premier League relegation zone for the first time in months after securing two crucial victories under new manager Roberto De Zerbi. The north London club now sits in 17th place with 37 points from 35 matches, one point above West Ham United in 18th.
Tottenham Hotspur avoids relegation zone under Roberto De Zerbi; Here’s how
The result marks a dramatic turnaround for Spurs, who had been mired in a lengthy winless run before De Zerbi was appointed their third manager of the 2025/26 season in late March. De Zerbi has quickly instilled a renewed fighting spirit at the club. The Italian coach has warned a no-excuses mentality, urging his players to “die on the pitch” in the remaining fixtures as they battle to secure survival.
With Burnley and Wolves already cut adrift at the bottom, the focus now shifts to the intense scrap involving Tottenham, West Ham, and other sides still at risk of dropping into the Championship. The rapid shift in momentum under De Zerbi offers hope to Tottenham supporters after a turbulent campaign that has already seen multiple managerial changes.
The former Brighton and Shakhtar Donetsk boss will now aim to build on these results and guide the club to safety in what remains a highly competitive and unpredictable end to the season.
