What does Greenwood have to do with it? Tottenham fans protest De Zerbi appointment
A major scandal is brewing around the potential managerial change at Tottenham. The London club's supporters have launched a "No Roberto De Zerbi" campaign, urging the board to abandon the idea of hiring the Italian coach in light of his public stance on the Mason Greenwood case, according to the Daily Mail.
Previously, while working at Marseille, the Italian manager publicly backed the English striker despite the controversy surrounding allegations of assault. Although the case was closed, fan groups believe such statements downplay the seriousness of the issue and contradict the club's values.
Interestingly, the situation around De Zerbi has already sparked protests in France. His move to Marseille was met with criticism from fans and even the city's mayor, who openly opposed signing Greenwood. Nevertheless, the coach continues to defend his position, stating that the player "paid a heavy price" for what happened and deserves a second chance.
