The pressure is mounting on Tottenham Hotspur head coach Roberto De Zerbi, with his side still looking for the first league win and goal of the season.
Two points out of four makes for a concerning reading, but the biggest reason for many Spurs fans panicking is down to the lack of goals so far.
Tottenham have failed to score for the first four league games of their campaign for the first time in their history, and there is genuine concern regarding where the goals are going to come from.
De Zerbi has insisted the floodgates will open for Spurs in front of goal once they break the deadlock, calling on his players to remain calm and continue to improve.
Roberto De Zerbi is not concerned about his position as Tottenham head coach
Football Insider have now revealed that despite seeing his side go six hours of Premier League football without a goal, De Zerbi is not concerned about his role at the moment.
In fact, the website claims that the Italian is confident of turning things around despite Tottenham’s poor start to the season.
De Zerbi believes that he has the support of the club’s board at the start of a new project after saving the club from relegation last term.
The website claims to have heard from sources at Tottenham that the club are reluctant to sack the man who performed a rescue act at the end of last season.
Spurs hierarchy are fully behind De Zerbi
Football Insider also spoke to journalist Pete O’Rourke, who acknowledged that Tottenham’s results need to improve quickly.
However, he explained that De Zerbi will be given time to integrate the new signings and that the Tottenham hierarchy is fully behind the 46-year-old at the moment.
O’Rourke said: “Look, no manager in the Premier League can go on for too long with a losing start to the new season. That’s the job, this game is based on getting results and Roberto De Zerbi will be fully aware of that. Two points from four games is not good enough. He’s definitely got time on his side, De Zerbi, for what he did last year when he came in and rescued the club and made sure they didn’t suffer the ignominy of Premier League relegation.
“It will take time for these new players to bed in and get used to their new surroundings and to perform to their highest level as well. There’ll be no knee-jerk reactions at Tottenham. The club are fully behind De Zerbi and they see him as the man to get things right.”
