‘Levy at it again’: Some Spurs fans react to latest news ahead of 2nd leg Europa League clash – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Dinamo Zagreb boss Zoran Mamic has resigned from his post after he was sentenced to prison for tax-fraud as confirmed by Croatia’s supreme court.
The news has sparked reactions from a lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans as Spurs face Zagreb in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie in Croatia on Thursday.
The 49-year-old manager was also given a jail term along with his brother Zdravko in 2018 in Osijek.
Croatia’s supreme court has said that Mamic will have to serve four years and eight months in prison, reports BBC Sport.
“Although I don’t feel guilty, I resign as I said before I would do if the sentence was confirmed,” Mamic said in a statement on the Dinamo Zagreb website.
“I wish all the good luck to the club.”
Spurs are leading the first leg 2-0, and are likely to progress through to the next round of the Europa League.
Spurs have been brilliant in their Europa League campaign so far, but they have been inconsistent with their league form.
The north London club lost 2-1 against Arsenal on Sunday, and many Spurs fans are still furious with their manager Jose Mourinho, because of the manner in which they approached the game.
Here are some of the selected tweets:

I just hope Mourinho doesn’t also get a jail sentence for making Spurs play the way we did against Arsenal. #COYS
