Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Fabio Paratici has resigned from his role as managing director of football at the club. Paratici was unsuccessful with an appeal against his Italian Football Federation (FIGC) ban on certain football-related activities - which was subsequently extended worldwide by FIFA at the end of March - and will now leave his role with immediate effect.
A statement from Spurs chariman Daniel Levy read: “This has been a stressful time for Fabio and his family. We wanted to ensure that we allowed for due process to be followed. Fabio is a man who lives and breathes football - we wish him well.
“As outlined in our year end results, we started several months ago to restructure our football operations and last week announced the appointment of Scott Munn as chief football officer to head up all the departments. We shall continue to strengthen our football functions over the coming months.”
