De Zerbi declares himself Italy's top coach after Spurs' draws

Roberto De Zerbi, reacting to Tottenham Hotspur’s consecutive goalless draws with Nottingham Forest and Everton in the Premier League, declared “De Zerbi afirma ser o melhor técnico da Itália”. The statement was first published by Gazeta Esportiva later that day.

Both games ended 0‑0, leaving Spurs without a goal in either fixture. The fixtures were part of the Premier League calendar.

Gazeta Esportiva was the first outlet to carry the Portuguese wording, highlighting De Zerbi’s confidence in his standing among Italian coaches. The original phrase, “De Zerbi afirma ser o melhor técnico da Itália”, appeared in the post.
