 After the rumors and rumors of the last few hours, it is now official: Gennaro Gattuso will not be the coach of Fiorentina.

The consensual termination of the contract, which should have started on July 1st, was signed.

And the Tottenham hypothesis appears.

The agreement for Paulo Fonseca as Tottenham manager is skipped to the last.

The former coach of Rome and Shakhtar Donetsk - reports the Guardian - should have signed the contract after the verbal agreement with the London club, but in the end he would not have been able to agree on the terms.

The search for a coach for the Spurs is in the hands of agent Jorge Mendes, who would have indicated the name of Gennaro Gattuso.

In recent days, contacts with Antonio Conte had failed, given the prospect of hiring Fonseca;

other unsuccessful candidates were Hansi Flick and Mauricio Pochettino.

Fonseca had been the choice of Tottenham's new managing director, Fabio Paratici, for a two-year contract with an option for another season.

A sort of "exchange" with José Mourinho, who was sacked by the Spurs in April and took the position left vacant by Fonseca at Roma. 

The one between Gennaro Gattuso and Fiorentina seemed the perfect marriage for everyone

to relaunch the club of president Rocco Commisso. Instead, on a hot June morning it was sanctioned that the former Napoli coach will not train the Viola. The parties have signed a consensual termination of the contract. Gattuso should have formally started on July 1, after Fiorentina announced him as the new coach on May 25. A two-year contract with an option for the third year would have been deposited precisely on 1 July, the day after concluding the relationship with Naples. Now it's all over, scripted, it will no longer go like this despite the fact that all the purple fans already saw in Gattuso the man, the coach, the 'guarantor', for a strong and competitive Fiorentina. On 4 June Gattuso, together with his collaborators,he visited the Davide Astori Sports Center (and subsequently the future Viola Park) to see the facilities and begin to get to know the environment where he would start working. Then he talked about the transfer market with the president Commisso, with the general manager Joe Barone and with the sports director Daniele Pradè. From that moment on, names of important players had been associated with the Viola, including Sergio Oliveira of Porto and Nico Gonzalez of Stuttgart, pawns who dreamed of a Fiorentina capable of climbing the positions that compete with the fans. Dreams vanished like snow in the sun: a certain diplomacy has tried to mend a situation that seems to have broken in front of the commissions and intermediaries demanded by the prosecutor Jorge Mendes. The 'battle' of Rocco Commisso against the disproportionate commissions of agents is known,intermediaries and attorneys. Mendes is also Gattuso's agent. Among the possible reasons for the breakdown there would also be a possible different view on the market objectives. At the moment, also given a confidentiality clause that emerged in the consensual termination signed today, it is difficult to fully understand why the sensational break was reached. The fans are astonished and divided: on social media many have taken it out on Commisso and the Viola managers, others with Gennaro Gattuso. Now who will arrive in his place?
