There’s no point having a brilliant playing squad unless you have a team of fantastic coaches behind the scenes making everything tick. Here is an introduction to the key members of the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff.
Tottenham appointed Roberto De Zerbi to save them from Premier League relegation in March 2026, a feat he succeeded in doing so, backed by new faces he brought with him, as well as coaches he met at N17. So, let’s take a closer look at the coaching staff at the club.
Tottenham Hotspur manager: Roberto De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi was appointed as Tottenham Hotspur manager on 31 March 2026, replacing Igor Tudor.
De Zerbi joined after leaving Marseille earlier in the year, where he’d led them to a runners-up spot in Ligue 1 and Champions League football. Prior to that, he had impressive spells at Brighton and Hove Albion and Sassuolo especially, while spending a short-lived spell in Ukraine managing Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Italian has forged a reputation for playing very impressive, possession-heavy attacking football, with his teams renowned for bating the press and powering forward with pace and purpose. It has earned him rave reviews, including from Pep Guardiola, who suggested De Zerbi was “changing many things in the English football. He’s producing wonderful football”.

Bruno Saltor joined Tottenham as part of Igor Tudor’s coaching set-up in February 2026.

Marcattilio Marcattilii was one of two coaches Roberto De Zerbi brought immediately with him after being appointed in March 2026.

As fitness coach, Marcattilii’s responsibilities include creating individualised training programs for each player.
Goalkeeper Coach: Fabian Otte
Fabian Otte joined Tottenham in the summer of 2025 as part of Thomas Frank’s coaching set-up in a move described as a “major coup”.
Otte joined the club from Liverpool, with prior experience including spells with the USA, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Burnley, and Hoffenheim II. He also holds a PhD in Sport and Coaching Science, with him known for work in skill acquisition and bridging coaching science with on-field practice.
Otte was confirmed to be remaining as part of De Zerbi’s coaching team by the club in April 2026.
First Team Set-Piece Coach: Andreas Georgson
Manchester United hired Georgson as a set-piece coach in the summer of 2024 after the Swede quit his post as Lillestrom boss for a move to Old Trafford. Following the arrival of Ruben Amorim and his reliance on his own team, Georgson departed the Europa League finalists in May 2025.
Known for his strength at set-pieces, Georgson worked with Frank at Brentford in the 2019-20 season and has also had spells with Arsenal, Southampton and in Sweden with Malmo.
Georgson is one of the few members of the Tottenham Hotspur coaching team who stuck around after Thomas Frank left the club.
Senior Professional Development Phase Coach: Marcello Quinto
Marcello Quinto joined Tottenham in April 2026 as part of Roberto De Zerbi’s coaching team.
Quinto’s experience with De Zerbi goes back to their time together at Foggia, where Quinto was a player. Retiring in 2020, he got his UEFA A licence and headed to Brighton where he worked as a coach under his fellow Italian and former manager.
Quinto is said to be very close with De Zerbi on a personal level, making him an important confidant. He is good at building relationships with players and ensuring positive energy in training sessions.
Individual Development Coach: Cameron Campbell
Cameron Campbell joined Spurs in the summer of 2025 as Individual Development Coach. It was quite the addition, too, with Campbell making his name over a 17-month period at RB Leipzig in Germany.
He was Head of Player Development there, and was responsible for designing and delivering the High-Potential Player Programme for the Bundesliga outfit, which helps young players develop from the youth squad through to the first-team.
Before that, Campbell spent three years with Scottish giants Rangers.
Translator: Enrico Venturelli
Enrico Venturelli joined Tottenham in May 2026, with his job title given as translator.
It marked the fourth time Venturelli had linked up with De Zerbi, having been with him at Shakhtar, Brighton and Marseille. Before that, Venturelli worked with FIFA and UEFA in operations, as well as for the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014, Rio 2016 and Pyeongchang 2018 as a project manager.
His focus at De Zerbi’s previous clubs was said to be on the organisation aspects, managing everything the Head Coach wants and needs – essentially making him something of a personal assistant.
