The Italian is in advanced talks to take over at Spurs following a dramatic U-turn in negotiations with Fonseca
Tottenham are in talks with Gennaro Gattuso following the breakdown of Paulo Fonseca's move to the north London club.
The Portuguese coach was expected to be confirmed as Spurs’ new boss this week having agreed a deal to fill the role that has been vacant since Jose Mourinho was sacked in April.
But talks have collapsed at the final hurdle, with Gattuso now primed to take over.
