Coach De Zebi wants to manage Manchester United.

After leaving Marseille, coach Roberto De Zerbi emerged as a strong candidate for the managerial position at Manchester United and Tottenham in the 2026/27 season.

De Zerbi prefers to choose MU.

According to The Telegraph , the Italian strategist has been shortlisted by a major Premier League club. Notably, De Zerbi is reportedly particularly interested in the possibility of managing Manchester United and considers it his top choice if given the chance to take over the managerial role at Old Trafford.

The 46-year-old manager is now a free agent after reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with Marseille early on February 11th, ending a journey that began in the summer of 2024. Previously, he made a name for himself managing Sassuolo and especially Brighton. In England, he built a modern, possession-based, and highly organized attacking style of play.

De Zerbi's clear football philosophy and ability to develop players earned him high praise from many big clubs. Experts say he is also admired at Manchester City, with manager Pep Guardiola repeatedly expressing his respect for the Italian's coaching style.

Meanwhile, Tottenham also want to persuade De Zerbi, but the London club is facing a difficult dilemma. A prerequisite for Spurs to pursue this manager is securing their Premier League survival. Currently, Tottenham are only one point above the relegation zone, leaving the team's future uncertain.

The situation at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has become even more tense under manager Igor Tudor. The former Juventus manager has lost all three matches since taking over the team, severely jeopardizing his position.

The sensational goal by the young MU player: On the night of March 7th, JJ Gabriel shone with an incredibly beautiful goal that helped Manchester United's U18 team defeat Nottingham Forest's U18 team 5-2 in the U18 Premier League.
