The real reason John Heitinga left Tottenham may shock some fans

A new report has revealed the circumstances that led to John Heitinga’s exit from Tottenham Hotspur just a month after his appointment.

Heintinga was appointed as Tottenham’s assistant first-team coach last month, replacing Matt Wells, who left Spurs to take over as the head coach of the Colorado Rapids.

When Thomas Frank was sacked last week, many wondered if Heintinga could be made the interim head coach until the end of the season, given his previous experience in charge of Ajax.
