Tottenham set Marbella training and bonding trip after Man Utd
Roberto De Zerbi has arranged for his squad to travel to Spain after Saturday’s match against Manchester United, using the Marbella stay to prepare for Coventry and to build cohesion in a new-look group.
Tottenham will head to Marbella for a short training and team-bonding trip arranged by head coach Roberto De Zerbi, with the squad due to travel after Saturday’s match against Manchester United.
Sami Mokbel says the plan is for Spurs to use time in Spain to continue preparations for the upcoming fixture against Coventry, while also giving De Zerbi’s refreshed group an opportunity to spend extended time together away from the usual training rhythm.
The report adds that the camp is designed to blend football work with bonding, reflecting the club’s view that early-season contact time off the pitch can speed up understanding on it for a squad with several new faces.
This is a scheduled plan rather than an official club announcement, and no further details have been disclosed about the itinerary or the length of the stay.
While such mid-season breaks are not uncommon, moving quickly to an overseas base immediately after the United game suggests De Zerbi wants to lock in messages and relationships before attention turns fully to Coventry. A focused block of work in a different environment could help reinforce tactical instructions and give players and staff space to connect without the usual match-to-match churn.
It is understood the group will balance training with time together away from the pitch during the trip, with the emphasis on sharpening readiness for Coventry and strengthening the dynamics of a changing dressing room.
