Roberto De Zerbi's message to the Tottenham Hotspur fans ahead of the Coventry game in the Premier League...
"Itโs great to return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a month on from our last game in N17.
Since then, weโve had the international break, secured a good point away at Manchester United and travelled to Marbella for a productive training camp.
I was pleased with the performance at Old Trafford. We played well, creating many chances and we deserved more than a point. Most importantly to me though, was the fight and unity we showed as a team - especially after Rodrigoโs red card.
Itโs always tricky when you go down to 10 men, but the reaction we showed was fantastic. We played for each other, we worked as a team and we showed immense belief until the final whistle. It was exactly the attitude I want to see every time we step onto the pitch.
Our courage, character and energy ensured we got a well-deserved equaliser through Dom, who led the line tirelessly all game. We must now build on that performance and carry the momentum forward.
And thatโs what we focussed on during our training camp in Spain. It was a productive few days in which the players worked hard. It gave us a further opportunity to gel as a team and build bonds on and off the pitch. Iโm pleased with the progress we are making and how much the players are adopting our ideas.
Itโs important that we now show what weโve been working on to you, the fans.
And that starts with tonight, as we host Coventry City. Frank Lampard has got the Sky Blues well organised and theyโre coming off the back of a really impressive win against Newcastle United last time out.
All games in the Premier League are tough, and we know that Coventry will provide a threat - but weโll be ready.
Weโve been improving game by game and Iโm confident that trend will continue tonight. Weโre determined to step out there with the same energy and passion we showed against Manchester United and get you off your feet.
A night game under the lights always brings a special atmosphere and I canโt wait to feel that again tonight."

A special chapter comes to an end, Itโs been some journey, with plenty of memories, moments and experiences that Iโll carry with me for forever, especially that night in Bilbao ๐ Thanks to all the staff members whoโve helped me along the way, the players whoโve become family & most importantly thank you to the fans. Time for a new chapter now, but Spurs will always have a place in my heart ๐ค COYS !!
Today, I say goodbye to a place that, for five seasons, was much more than a club. It was my home, my challenge and the place where my family and I built such an important part of our lives.
I leave with a heart full of memories and enormous pride for everything we lived and achieved together.
When I arrived, I had a clear dream: to leave my name in this clubโs history. I knew the only way was through hard work, sacrifice and achieving something that had seemed so difficult for so long: lifting a trophy again.
**And we did it.**
The journey wasnโt perfect, but I donโt want that to define my goodbye. I choose to remember the happy moments, the lessons, the people who stood by me and, above all, the love I received during these five years.
Thank you to everyone at the club who shared this journey with me. Coaches, teammates, staff and every person working behind the scenes you are all part of my story and have a place in my heart.
And to the fans:
Thank you for loving me, respecting me and making me feel like one of you from day one. Thank you for every hug, every song, every flag, every applause and for always being there.
I know I wasnโt perfect, but one thing gives me peace: I always gave everything. I defended this shirt with pride and with all my heart.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
Iโm leaving the club, but a part of my heart will always remain here.
Once I was one of you. Today, I leave as one of you forever.
With all my love and respect.
Thank you for everything. And goodbye @SpursOfficial ๐ค
