ANDhe Tottenham have plummeted since losing the Champions League final to Liverpool (2-0) in 2019. He has fired Mauricio Pochettino and Jos Mourinho and accumulates two seasons without getting into the Champions League. To top it all, its top star, Harry Kane has asked out.
His bench is, right now, a ‘hot potato’. They dreamed of Antonio Conte and Julian Nagelsmann, but their hopes were completely dashed. They had ‘done’ Paulo Fonseca, ex of Roma, but the agreement ‘was blown up’ when, practically, the only thing missing was the signature.
Suddenly Gennaro Gattuso entered the scene in this ‘three-way carom’, who, curiously, had left the Fiorentina bench 23 days after being hired. The ‘unofficial’ excuse was the lack of harmony in the ‘transfer policy’, but there are those who quickly saw a direct connection between Jorge Mendes (‘Rino’ agent) and Fabio Paratici, former Juventus and new sports director of the ‘Spurs’.
Tottenham, however, encountered the unexpected. The revolt of his fans against joining the Super League has been joined by opposition to Gattuso. The ‘hashtag’ #NoToGattuso has been a ‘trending topic’ in the United Kingdom and has been decisive for his signing to ‘fall’.
“Gennaro Gattuso will not be Tottenham’s next manager as reported by David Ornstein. His signing was never taken for granted, as announced. The ‘Spurs’ had a positive encounter with Gattuso’s agent, but then they didn’t decide to hire him, “says Fabrizio Romano.

And is that ‘Rino’ became the ‘enemy number 1’ of the ‘Spurs’ when in a knockout knockout of the Champions League in 2011 he gave a header and He grabbed Joe Jordan, then Jamie Redknapp’s assistant, by the neck. “Jordan broke my ‘balls’ the whole second half, but he shouldn’t have reacted like that. I lost my mind,” he said.

But there is more. ANDIn the ‘Spurs’ fans, the ‘out of tune’ that Gattuso has starred in throughout his career has not sat well either and that have gone viral in the last few hours. There’s a little bit of everything: from his opposition to gay marriage to women holding positions of responsibility in football.
“I really can’t see women in football. I don’t like to say it, but that’s the way it is.”, he assured when Adriano Galliani went on to share his role with Barbara Berlusconi in 2013.

Already in 2008, as a Rangers player, he openly took a stand against homosexual marriage: “Marriage for the Church must be between a man and a woman. I am a believer and a fervent defender of the family and gay marriage is very strange to me. “

His comments are also held in his face, among others, after he Kevin-Prince Boateng left a Milan match in 2013 due to racist insults from the ‘radicals’ of the Pro Patria. “What happened is the fault of a group of idiots. There is no racism in Busto Arsizio. How many times have white players been booed? It has happened to me, but I don’t give it much importance. ”
