Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has been told by former defender William Gallas he must appoint the perfect sporting director to take Spurs into their next era. Previous managing director Fabio Paratici left the club on April 21 in the midst of appealing his 30-month footballing ban after it was placed in effect worldwide and not just in Italy.
While FIFA have 'partially accepted' Paratici's appeal against the ban, he will not be allowed to negotiate contracts with players or agents, or attend league meetings - something that would seriously restrict his role.
A new head coach also needs to be appointed, but a final decision being confirmed appears far away with frontrunner Arne Slot no longer in the running. In a Thursday morning press conference, Slot has been quoted in AD saying: “I have been hearing a lot of rumours going around about other clubs' interest in me. Although I am thankful, my wish is to stay at Feyenoord and continue working on what we created last year.
