Managerial talks between Gennaro Gattuso and Tottenham broke down because of 'mess' according to Lorenzo Insigne.
The diminutive Italy winger remains a close confidant of Gattuso after working under him at Napoli, and has offered a glimpse of what happened during the recent surprise negotiations.
Spurs had turned to Gattuso after failing to lure the likes of Erik ten Hag, Brendan Rodgers and Antonio Conte to the role.
The former AC Milan icon appeared poised to take the reins in north London, only for talks to once again spectacularly break down and Spurs head back to the drawing board.
