Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham enter 2026/27 with Roberto De Zerbi preparing for his first full season in charge, after being drafted in late last term to rescue Spurs from the brink of relegation — following the short-lived reigns of both Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor. De Zerbi guided the club to safety on the final day of 2025/26, a dramatic escape that came at West Ham's expense.
It's been a busy summer of rebuilding around the Italian coach, with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes arriving to strengthen midfield, alongside defensive additions Jan Paul van Hecke and Andy Robertson. After two difficult domestic campaigns, the goal for 2026/27 is a serious push back toward European qualification, with De Zerbi given the time and squad to build a team properly in his own image.
Spurs open the new season away at local rivals Brentford on Saturday 22 August, kick-off 5:30pm, before their first home fixture of the campaign the following week.
