Per BBC Sport, the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust has made it clear they cannot support the appointment of De Zerbi because of his previous comments about Mason Greenwood while at Marseille.
He said at the time: "All I can see is that Mason seems a good lad, he paid in a strong way for what happened.
"He has probably here found the right environment for him, which gave him affection, and held out its hand to him.
"When I look at him as a person, I feel sad for what happened in his life, without getting into the details.
"Because the person I know here is very different to the one that has been described, especially in England."
De Zerbi has been accused of downplaying Greenwood's actions and painting him as a victim.
