Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi says sorry for Mason Greenwood comments

  • Roberto De Zerbi, the new Tottenham Hotspur manager, has apologised for previous comments made about Mason Greenwood.
  • De Zerbi faced criticism for praising Greenwood's character during their time at Marseille, despite the player having faced charges of attempted rape, controlling behaviour, and assault, which were later dropped.
  • He had previously described Greenwood as a 'good guy' who had paid a 'heavy price,' stating he knew a 'totally different person.'
  • In his apology, De Zerbi clarified he never intended to downplay violence against women and expressed regret if his comments offended anyone, citing his own daughter.
  • De Zerbi also reiterated his five-year commitment to Tottenham, aiming to save the club from Premier League relegation and expressing belief in the team's ability to overcome their current difficulties.
