Tottenham intensify bid for ex-Napoli coach Gattuso
Tottenham management has said it was their decision to pull out of talks with former Roma coach Paulo Fonseca.
According to The Mirror, Tottenham pulled out of negotiations for Fonseca at the 11th hour – when Gennaro Gattuso became available.
Tottenham staged a major U-turn because ex-AC Milan hardman Gattuso suddenly became available after he walked out on Fiorentina after just 23 days in charge.
Gattuso, 43, quit after a row with the Fiorentina hierarchy over transfers and Tottenham’s newly appointed director of football Fabio Paratici made an approach.
