Fabio Paratici has stepped down from his role as Tottenham's managing director, pending the outcome of his appeal against a worldwide ban.
The Spurs chief was given a 30-month ban from Italian football in January after his former club, Juventus, were found guilty of false accounting. Paratici and Juventus both appealed against FIFA's ruling.
That was before FIFA this week extended his suspension "to have worldwide effect" and prompted Tottenham to seek 'urgent further clarification' from football's global governing body, only adding to the chaos in North London following the departure of manager Antonio Conte.
