Igor Tudor negotiated a short-term deal with a bonus once he had secured survival in the Premier League. As you know, this went straight south – and out – for the former Juventus coach. In any case, Tudor would not join in the event of a relegation. Roberto de Zerbi signed a five-year contract earlier this month with a solid bonus for survival in the world’s toughest league, but the Italian has closed the emergency exit.
Many were stunned when De Zerbi committed to a five-year contract, one point above the relegation zone. There must be a clause here that he can leave if it ends in relegation? For Tottenham supporters, it is surely good to hear that the Italian has not planned for relegation.

For de Zerbi says he did not need a relegation clause in his contract.
“I think we’ll stay in the Premier League. It should be clear to everyone, because of course I want to work in the Premier League. I think I deserve it. But I signed my contract here in April, so I have to be ready to stay next season no matter what. Now I’m focusing on Sunderland and the last six games,” the new Tottenham manager said, according to Sky Sports.
For the Tottenham players, this means that every single game is an audition to wear the shirt on match day next season as well. Roberto de Zerbi is not leaving the ship, even if it sinks down to the Championship.
