I think it’s not that strange in Italy. Didn’t Bielsa leave Lazio after like 2 days? Lol

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
From the Athletic just now.
Tottenham’s protracted search for a new manager will continue after the north London club decided against appointing Gennaro Gattuso to the vacant position, The Athletic can reveal.
The Italian emerged as a potential option for Spurs yesterday alongside Paulo Fonseca, with whom talks are believed to have broken down. Earlier in the day, Gattuso surprisingly departed Fiorentina after only 23 days at the helm.
Conversations took place between Tottenham and the 43-year-old former AC Milan and Napoli manager — as they have done with numerous contenders — however, Gattuso will not be getting the job.
There was a huge backlash from Spurs fans after reports that Gattuso was the leading candidate.
Historic comments allegedly made by the ex-Italy midfielder about the role of women in football, same-sex marriage and racism were repeatedly shared by Tottenham supporters on social media, accompanied by the hashtag #NoToGattuso, which was trending in the United Kingdom last night.
Tottenham’s new managing director Fabio Paratici had been speaking to Fonseca over the past week about the vacant position. He had considered hiring Gattuso as Pirlo’s successor at Juventus earlier this summer.
Gattuso, who parted ways with Napoli last month, walked away from Fiorentina before he had even officially started in the job.
Before Gattuso and Fonseca, Spurs are reported to have held discussions with their old manager Mauricio Pochettino — now at Paris Saint-Germain — as well as Antonio Conte, who left Inter last month after winning the Scudetto, and Hansi Flick, who will join the German national team after Euro 2020.
In a letter to Tottenham fans at the end of the season, the chairman Daniel Levy wrote that the board had “lost sight of some key priorities and what’s truly in our DNA”, adding: “We are acutely aware of the need to select someone whose values reflect those of our great club and return to playing football with the style for which we are known — free-flowing, attacking and entertaining — while continuing to embrace our desire to see young players flourish from our academy alongside experienced talent.”
Tomorrow will mark two months to the day that Tottenham sacked Jose Mourinho, and the club subsequently failed to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League.

Good re: Gattuso but we are close to a crisis if not already in one.
The only saving grace is the Euros which creates a media distraction.

Maybe we should start looking somewhere other than in Serie A. It’s not the 1980’s or 90’s now. It’s a glorified pub league. How about an English manager.
Jürgen Klinsmann?
No, with Levy it'll be George Primark
See, look at this reporting from an apparent trusted source. How could Paratici be in charge of finding Pirlos successor at Juve when everyone knew he was leaving Juve at the end of this season? Terrible reporting!
this club is a joke
Would be a good fit for Levy. Word is Armani would cost nothing.
Just to be clear you are claiming that the Athletic completely made that up out of nothing for fun?
They gain nothing from reporting it, not a single person will buy a subscription based on that report, nobody is buying ads because of it, there is no benefit from reporting it.
What is possible though is that as part of his exit process that a guy who had worked for the club for 10 years helped create a plan/gave his opinion on what the club would need to do going forward, especially with a major decision like hiring the new manager so that they would not be left having to start from step 1 when he left and have the search drag on for say 60+ days like could happen if you weren't prepared.
Right so the guy who had worked for them for 10 years whose opinion they respected had Gattuso as his first choice to replace Pirlo but they decided to ignore all that and go back to Allegri instead.
The part I highlighted from the Athletic was not accurate, nothing wrong with that and journalists can make mistakes, sometimes deliberate sometimes innocent.
The guy they decided to move on from first choice was Gattuso, perhaps some of the reasons they moved in from each other had to do with Allegri coming back.
We have no idea if it was accurate or not but people don’t understand his things work so even when the reporters say it isn’t 100% done they cry when something breaks down.
I'm just glad that we had all this sorted out before we sacked Jose !
Potter or Parker ?
