VISIT THE TRANSFER HUBRoberto De Zerbi could replace Igor Tudor in North LondonFootball Insider understands that Tottenham are set to sack Igor Tudor within the next 48 hours, with Roberto De Zerbi the favourite to replace the former Juventus boss.The news will come as a shock to absolutely nobody, with Spurs having won just one of Tudor’s seven games in charge, seeing them stuck above the Premier League relegation zone by just one point.De Zerbi has a lot of knowledge of football in England from his time with Brighton, winning over 42 per cent of his games in all competitions, and 50 per cent of his Premier League games in charge.Managerial recordRoberto De Zerbi at BrightonIgor Tudor at TottenhamGames897Won381Drawn221Lost295Win %42.714.2That is exactly the type of form that would save the Lilywhites from playing Championship football next season, and his appointment could also have a huge domino effect on Vicario’s future.Tottenham change could mean salvation for Guglielmo VicarioWhen at his best, Vicario is one of the best in the league for playing with his feet, meaning he should thrive under De Zerbi, who would put a lot of trust into the 29-year-old.While it would mean a lot of added pressure for the goalkeeper, the manager’s tactics are very structured, and as long as his teammates can handle the changes, Vicario should be able to as well.The Italian international, who shares his nation with De Zerbi, is already confident when it comes to playing out from the back, at least when a manager has confidence in him to do so.If De Zerbi is in charge of the end-of-season “finals,” and Vicario plays a key role in keeping Spurs in the Premier League, he may have saved himself from having to find a new club ahead of next season.
