Spurs confirm double appointment ahead of De Zerbi era
Spurs announced on Wednesday that Marcattilio Marcattilii and Marcello Quinto have joined as fitness coach and senior professional development phase coach respectively.
Marcattilii has spent a number of years with De Zerbi, first working with him at Italian outfit Foggia in 2015.
Meanwhile, Quinto reunites with De Zerbi at Tottenham after they were together at Brighton and Marseille.
De Zerbi did have five other staff members during his time at Brighton and Marseille, but they have not joined him at Spurs, which includes long-term assistant Andrea Maldera.
Spurs have confirmed assistant Bruno Saltor, who joined last month after the arrival of Igor Tudor, will remain alongside Andreas Georgson, Cameron Campbell and Fabian Otte, who all joined in the summer.
Dean Brill and Stuart Lewis, who have previously supported the first team this season after spells in Tottenham’s youth coaching set-up, will continue in those roles.
There had been speculation that ex-AC Milan defender Alessandro Nesta and ex-Spurs midfielder Sandro may be part of De Zerbi’s backroom staff, but they will not be involved for now.
De Zerbi’s debut fixture at Tottenham is Sunday’s trip to Sunderland.
