Gennaro Gattuso had been hired as La Viola boss this summer, but left the club after just a few weeks due to disagreements over transfers.
Tottenham are now understood to be working on hiring Gattuso as an alternative to Fonseca, who could in turn be Gattuso’s replacement at Fiorentina.
It remains to be seen if the 48-year-old will definitely get the job, as CaughtOffside understands that former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is also in the running.
The 69-year-old notably won the Premier League title in his time at the King Power Stadium and generally has great experience in the game, having also coached big names like Chelsea and Juventus in his career.
