Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian head coach of Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs), organized a dinner for his players at the Mediterranean restaurant Bacchanalia late last season after joining the club. This meal helped improve morale and led to an upturn in form that ultimately kept Spurs from being relegated on the final day of the season.
Recently, with no goals or wins from their opening four league games, De Zerbi took his squad back to Bacchanalia hoping for another morale boost. He emphasized the importance of relaxing and not rushing decisions in the final third after a 0-0 draw against Everton over the weekend despite starting brightly.
De Zerbi stated that paying for dinner is "a pleasure" so long as he can keep the money for cigarettes, indicating his commitment to team building.
