New Tottenham Hotspur head coach Roberto De Zerbi has issued a public apology following intense criticism from supporters’ groups regarding his past defense of Mason Greenwood.
Addressing the controversy on Thursday, De Zerbi stated, “I am sorry if I offended anyone’s feelings with this subject matter”.
