A Tottenham academy coach, who has been at Hotspur Way for more than a decade, has now departed the club to take up a job at another Premier League side.
As the new season fast approaches, we are not only seeing changes to the playing squad at Spurs but also to the coaching set-up.
A few days ago, De Zerbi’s coaching staff was boosted by the addition of Agostino Tibaudi, who has joined Tottenham’s sports science and fitness department.
The 60-year-old is a long-standing associate of De Zerbi’s, having worked with the Spurs head coach at every one of his clubs since 2018.

He was promoted to his current role just a year ago, but Tottenham have now confirmed that the 38-year-old has now departed to take a coaching role at Ipswich Town.
