## Resource

We’re joined by journalist and broadcaster Julien Laurens to dig into Tottenham’s appointment of Roberto De Zerbi and why it feels both exciting and slightly terrifying. We talk through his time at Marseille, why his football can be brilliant, why things so often turn volatile around him, and whether Spurs have just hired a genius or lit the fuse on another explosion. There’s loads in here on his tactical demands, his clashes with players and the press, his need for control, and which Spurs players might thrive or struggle under him. A proper deep dive into one of the most fascinating managers in football. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
