The question of whether De Zerbi is the right fit for Tottenham is tricky because it depends on whether you believe the club needs a complete tactical overhaul or better execution of the current vision. De Zerbi is undoubtedly a brilliant coach who builds highly structured, possession-heavy teams, but his style requires players with specific technical profiles and a high level of tactical discipline that can take time to instill. Spurs have clearly struggled with inconsistency, but changing managers again might just perpetuate the cycle of instability rather than addressing the structural issues in recruitment and squad depth. It is likely that the problem at Tottenham is deeper than just the manager, as the team often seems to oscillate between different philosophies every few years. Whether De Zerbi is the answer or not, the club probably needs to commit to a long-term sporting identity regardless of who is in the dugout if they want to stop these recurring identity crises.
