The whole situation is just odd, with De Zerbi securing a five-year contract despite only hanging around for more than two years at one of his previous eight clubs.
Good luck to him, but this is a difficult place for him to start.
Sunderland’s form at the Stadium of Light has dipped a bit since they lost their unbeaten home record against Liverpool in February, but the Black Cats will be buoyant after beating Newcastle last time out.
If Spurs are going to play the type of football we associate with De Zerbi, they will be open, expansive and take risks – but will they have the confidence to do that?
