Roberto De Zerbi says everyone at Tottenham must be on the same page if he is to stay next season - irrespective of relegation.

The Italian promised he would be "the coach of Tottenham next season no matter what" in his first club interview after signing a five-year contract with uncertainty around his commitment if Spurs were relegated.

After De Zerbi suffered defeat in his first game, a 1-0 loss at Sunderland, Spurs sit in the bottom three, two points from safety with six games to go, and are the Premier League's only side yet to win in 2026.

De Zerbi reassured Spurs fans in an exclusive with Sky Sports that going down to the Championship will not decide his future.
