Roberto De Zerbi said he is not a better coach than Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor but his "passion" can help restore Tottenham's DNA as he looks to steer the club clear of relegation.
Frank departed after less than eight months in charge at Spurs, while Tudor left 44 days into his reign with the club in 17th, one point above the relegation zone.

Speaking ahead of that fixture, the former Brighton and Marseille head coach revealed his admiration for his predecessors before outlining that it is the passion and character he will bring to the role which could restore the DNA at the club and help them avoid the drop.
"I am not better than Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor, I consider them as very good coaches, but I try to bring my style, myself, my character, personality and passion to help the players show their quality," he said in his first press conference as Spurs boss.
"And then to achieve our target. The most important part is the target [avoid relegation]. My style is one part. One part the style of play and the other part is about the character and personality.
"I don't have time for principles or build-up, I want to give organisation with the ball and without the ball.
