Spurs announced that Marcattilio Marcattilii and Marcello Quinto have joined as fitness coach and senior professional development phase coach respectively.
Marcattilii has spent a number of years with De Zerbi, first working with him at Italian outfit Foggia in 2015.
Meanwhile, Quinto reunites with De Zerbi at Tottenham after they were together at Brighton and Marseille.
De Zerbi did have five other staff members during his time at Brighton and Marseille, but they have not joined him at Spurs, which includes long-term assistant Andrea Maldera.
