JERMAINE JENAS has named the iconic San Siro as having the worst “s***hole” toilets in world football.
The legendary 76,000-seater stadium in Italy is home to both AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Opened in 1926, the San Siro has played host to some of the biggest matches in football history.
Its bold design, which includes giant pillars at each corner, means it is one of the most recognisable stadiums in Europe.
But the San Siro is facing its final days after Milan’s city council voted to sell it to developers who plan on tearing it down.
Fans in the world’s fashion capital have been left outraged, despite Milan and Inter revealing plans to build a new mega arena.

Yet Jenas feels there was definitely one aspect of the San Siro that needed drastic improvement.
The former England star played at the stadium once during his career, turning out for Tottenham in a 2010 Champions League group stage defeat to holders Inter.
The thrilling clash saw the Italians win 4-3, with the game best remembered for a stunning hat-trick by Gareth Bale.
Jenas played all 90 minutes in midfield alongside Tom Huddlestone and Luka Modric.
And the ace admits being blown away by the San Siro’s sheer size, grandeur and intimidating atmosphere.
However, Jenas also declared the toilets in the changing room to be the worst he ever encountered in his career.
Speaking on Adebayo Akinfenwa’s podcast, Beast Mode On, Jenas revealed how Spurs players were forced to use a hole in the floor with a handle either side.
The “s***hole” facilities were in stark contrast to the rest of the ground, leaving Jenas and his teammates boggled.
He said: “My first game was Inter Milan away. I grew up on Italia 90.
“And actually the San Siro, to this day, is my favourite stadium to play in.
“The actual guts to the San Siro is a bit of a s**t hole. The dressing rooms are tiny.
“I remember going to the toilet and all they had were these two handles and a frigging hole in the ground.
“I was like, ‘This can’t be the San Siro, what’s going on here?’
“But then you come out of the steps and all you can see is just smoke everywhere.”
