New Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi has issued an apology to "those who I offended" regarding comments made about Mason Greenwood during his time in charge of Marseille.
De Zerbi's arrival on a five-year contract was met with concern by the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust, who said that his hiring "raises serious and far-reaching concerns", adding in a strongly-worded statement that Spurs were directly warned about the "strength of feeling" among fans.
Greenwood joined Marseille from Manchester United in 2024 after charges against him, which included attempted rape and assault, were dropped. Last November, De Zerbi described him as a "good guy" who paid a "heavy price".
He added at the time: "It saddens me what happened in his life because I know a totally different person than the one who was described."
