Tottenham Hotspur's managing director of football Fabio Paratici has continued to shape his backroom staff with the appointment of Jeff Vetere earlier this month, football.london understands.
Paratici conducted a thorough review of Spurs' scouting department, as well as other areas of the club, with then technical performance director Steve Hitchen after arriving from Juventus in north London in the summer of 2021. Following Hitchen's resignation in February this year, the 50-year-old Italian pushed forward with the plans to restructure the scouting department with an increased budget.
Those who know Paratici say his skills lie in his working of the transfer market - seen as one of the best in the world when it comes to the trading of players - as well as in his strength in dealing with boardroom figures and communicating with the hierarchy of clubs, including his own, and pushing through what he wants to happen to improve the team.
