Dugarry criticizes De Zerbi’s Tottenham deal, calls it ‘a robbery
Summary

Christophe Dugarry has publicly criticized Roberto De Zerbi’s five-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur, describing it as 'a robbery without a mask.' Dugarry expressed concerns about whether De Zerbi is suited for a high-profile role at Tottenham, especially given the team's lackluster start to the season. Spurs have garnered only two points from their first four Premier League matches and have failed to score in over 400 minutes of play, including two consecutive goalless draws against Nottingham Forest and Everton. The criticism coincides with Tottenham’s significant summer spending of around €350 million, raising questions about the team's performance under De Zerbi’s management.
