Spurs Fan Groups Oppose De Zerbi Appointment

Tottenham Hotspur's new manager, Roberto De Zerbi, is already causing controversy.

Some Spurs fan groups are unhappy with De Zerbi because of his past comments about Mason Greenwood, a former Manchester United player who was charged with serious crimes.

The charges against Greenwood were dropped in February 2023.

Greenwood then joined Marseille in 2024, where De Zerbi was the manager.

De Zerbi praised Greenwood, saying he was a good guy who had paid a heavy price.

Three Spurs fan groups and the official Tottenham Hotspur's Supporters' Trust are opposing De Zerbi's appointment because of his comments.
