Tottenham have confirmed the addition of four new staff to Roberto De Zerbi’s backroom team ahead of the 26/27 season.

It has been a summer of incomings and outgoings for Tottenham Hotspur as they aim to improve their squad ahead of the new season.

It has been movement galore, with six new additions – Marcos Senesi, Andrew Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Martin Dubravka – all representing the club’s newest arrivals on the pitch.

Meanwhile, the sales of Alejo Veliz, Tynan Thompson, Luka Vuskovic, Alfie Devine and Radu Dragusin all stand as outgoings.

Spurs have also not hesitated to improve their coaching staff this summer as they continue to provide backing to Roberto De Zerbi ahead of his first full season in charge of Tottenham.

Tottenham confirm Andrew Crofts as new assistant coach

Spurs have now confirmed the addition of Andrew Crofts as De Zerbi’s assistant coach ahead of the new season.

Crofts is familiar with the Premier League, having spent most of his career with Brighton and Hove Albion.

He also played in the English top flight with Norwich City and racked up over 450 appearances for the likes of Gillingham, Wrexham, Charlton Athletic and Brighton.

The 43-year-old worked as one of Fabian Hurzeler’s assistant head coaches last season, and was even interim boss for Brighton following Graham Potter’s departure in 2022 before moving onto the coaching staff upon Roberto De Zerbi’s arrival.

Spurs continue to strengthen De Zerbi’s backroom team

Crofts now becomes part of a coaching team that features Bruno Saltor (Assistant Coach), Andreas Georgson (Assistant Coach), Marcattilio Marcattilii (First Team Fitness Coach), Marcello Quinto (Senior Professional Development Phase Coach), Cameron Campbell (Individual Development Coach), Fabian Otte (Goalkeeping Coach) and Dean Brill (Assistant Goalkeeping Coach) on De Zerbi’s staff.

The former Brighton coach is not the only one to have been appointed this summer, as Tottenham have made other additions as they look to improve their performance department.

It has also been confirmed that Ali James (Head of Medical Services), Tom Tombleson (Head of Athletic Development) and Agostino Tibaudi (Strength and Conditioning Coach) have joined Tottenham ahead of the new season.
