Tottenham's managerial search took another interesting twist on Thursday after the club broke off talks with Paulo Fonseca.
The 48-year-old Portuguese was set to replace Jose Mourinho after Spurs' new football managing director Fabio Paratici named him as his first choice.
The former Roma manager, who met Paratici this week in Italy, will no longer be joining the club as he said he was unhappy with the way the negotiations had taken place.
Earlier in June, Spurs had also been in advanced talks with former Inter Milan and Chelsea boss Antonio Conte but talks broke down after the two parties failed to agree on among other issues, Spurs transfer policy.
The 2018/19 Champions League finalists have now been linked with a move for Gennaro Gattuso who earlier this week resigned as the Fiorentina manager, a few weeks after his appointment.
