On Tuesday, the first goal came from Tottenham. It came in the cup and helped nothing against Liverpool’s three goals. In the Premier League, Roberto de Zerbi’s football has yet to score after four games. 17th place in the table shines against the Spurs supporters, who definitely didn’t think they would see this after the wild round of trading on the transfer market. Now the warning lights are already flashing for the Italian, one of the Premier League’s most respected coaches is reported as very potential to lead Tottenham forward.
It is the bookmakers who have now calculated that there is a change at Tottenham, where the likelihood of Eddie Howe as a replacement has increased this week.

De Zerbi’s future has been widely debated in recent weeks, with the Lilywhites now out of the cup and 17th in the Premier League after four games. The Italian could soon be “relieved of his duties” despite being given a lucrative five-year contract upon his appointment in March.
Howe is unemployed right now and some of the best British bookmakers believe that his chances of replacing De Zerbi in North London have improved over the last 24 hours. The former Newcastle manager is taking some time to recharge after five years on Tyneside, but would surely be tempted back into the coaching role by Tottenham.
Howe did an impressive job at St. James’ Park overall, and PL clubs are likely to be interested in hiring him if they want a change in their dugout.

De Zerbi will have some time to turn things around in north London, with a big game against struggling Aston Villa this weekend. The three-week international break comes at a good time for the Italian, unless the pressure is put down and more chances to implement how he wants to play on the training ground.
According to Football-Insider’s sources, Spurs are likely to sack De Zerbi in mid-November if they want to make a change. Howe is shining as a natural candidate to take over the job.
