He was once seen as the “Mexican Ronaldinho” after being a figure in the U-17 World Cup that El Tri won in 2005, but Giovani dos Santos’ career remained in eternal promise and accumulated some off-field controversies for his taste for nightlife, such as and as revealed by former Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp.
It has been 15 years since Giovani arrived at Tottenham in 2008 from Barcelona. The Mexican was introduced on the same day as Luka Modric and it is clear how each one fared in football. The Croatian won the Ballon d’Or, was a World Cup finalist and is a Real Madrid legend, while Dos Santos Ramírez has not had a team since 2021, partly due to his indiscipline, according to Redknapp.
The English helmsman only gave Giovani 17 games at the Spurs during his entire management, remembering that the three-time Mexican World Cup player had different spells – all brief – with the English club due to his constant loans, until he was sold to Spanish club Mallorca in 2012.

What did Harry Redknapp say about Giovani dos Santos?
In an interview for Talksport, Harry Redknapp tore Gio dos Santos to pieces for his bad habits off the pitch, whom he accused of arriving at training “raw”, accusing him of preferring to dedicate his energies to the clubs rather than the pitch.
“If he could pass the ball like he is able to pass the door of all the nightclubs, he would be a good footballer,” the British coach said some time ago of the Mexican.
“I remember that one Monday he came to training raw, he was probably in Barcelona partying all night before. His parents even approached me to apologize for his son’s indiscipline,” he added.
