Tottenham Hotspur officially confirm Roberto de Zerbi to keep ex Manchester United coach at club

Tottenham Hotspur have formally unveiled the complete back-room team that will support new head coach Roberto de Zerbi, and the list includes a coach who only months ago was plotting Manchester United’s set-piece revival.

In a low-key statement on the club’s official website, Spurs confirmed that De Zerbi will be assisted by Bruno Saltor, Andreas Georgson, Cameron Campbell and goalkeeping specialist Fabian Otte, with first-team support provided by Stuart Lewis and Dean Brill. New additions Marcattilio and Marcello have also been added to the staff.

For United followers, the eye-catching appointment is that of Andreas Georgson. The 40-year-old Swede was recruited by Erik ten Hag in 2024 to overhaul United’s dead-ball organisation, arriving with a CV that featured previous stints at Arsenal, Brentford, Southampton and Malmo. Although his Old Trafford stay yielded no trophies, the club’s set-piece output improved markedly under his guidance.

Georgson left United in June of last year to become Thomas Frank’s assistant at Tottenham, and he now survives the managerial transition to remain in the same role under De Zerbi, who was himself on United’s radar before Michael Carrick’s strong interim run muddied the waters at Old Trafford.

With Carrick steering the Reds to seven wins in ten matches and reigniting Champions League hopes, United’s hierarchy continue to weigh up a longer shortlist that still reportedly includes Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann after Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti pledged their futures to England and Brazil respectively.

While the managerial carousel spins in Manchester, Tottenham have moved swiftly to give De Zerbi a fully formed coaching nucleus, ensuring Georgson’s Premier League journey will continue in north London rather than the north-west.
