New Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi has apologised to fans over comments he made about Mason Greenwood. Greenwood faced charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in 2022 before they were dropped. De Zerbi told the Spurs website: "I have never wanted to downplay the issue of violence against women, or violence against anyone more broadly." "Those of you who know me well, will know that I'm not the kind of person who makes compromises to win more games or win an extra title. Spurs turned to De Zerbi after interim head coach Igor Tudor was sacked on Sunday with the club 17th in the Premier League, just one point and one place above the relegation zone.
