Former Tottenham favourite Victor Wanyama is backing Roberto De Zerbi to not only save his old side from relegation but turn them into a competitive force once again. Wanyama announced his retirement from football on Friday to focus on a coaching career and says he has followed de Zerbi since the Italian's days at Sassuolo. 'He may need to compromise principles at first, but he is very experienced, he knows what is missing and what is necessary.' 'It's been difficult for the coaches at Tottenham this season because of the amount of injuries they have had. And at least he is convinced that if that day comes, they will be in the Premier League.
