Portsmouth manager Avram Grant’s wife has claimed her husband only visited a “massage parlour” because he is “crazy about massages”.
Israeli Mr Grant, 54, was pictured by a Sun photographer leaving a “massage parlour” near Portsmouth’s training ground, on an industrial estate near the village of Horton Heath, where prostitutes allegedly charge £130-an-hour.
TV personality Tzofit Grant, who has been married to Avram Grant for 16 years, told the Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv: “It’s nobody’s business what he does with his body. He can get a Thai massage when he wants and how he wants.”
She said he is not intending to sue the Sun newspaper which took the pictures.
