This Thursday Tottenham have to play the second leg of the Europa League tie against Dinamo Zagreb. A murky episode with the Croatian team coach has come to light. Zoran Mamic was sentenced this Monday to four years and eight months in prison on charges of embezzlement and tax evasion, which led him to resign from the club in the capital immediately. “I do not feel guilty,” he admitted after hearing the sentence.
Bad business for Dynamo, who after the emergency exit of their coach will have to face a superior Tottenham who arrives in the Eastern European country with a 2-0 lead.
In addition to Mamic, his brother Zdarvko and a former club director were also convicted by the Croatian Supreme Court.. The sentence mores severe was imposed on Zdravko Mamic, who will have to serve six and a half years in prison. They are accused of having stolen some 15 million euros from the club’s accounts, supposedly used for player transfers.
