Fabio Paratici has broken his silence after Tottenham parted company with manager Antonio Conte on Sunday evening. The club placed Cristian Stellini and Ryan Mason in caretaker charge until the end of the season as they seek to retain their place in next season's Champions League.
As the man in charge of footballing operations at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Paratici is expected to be heavily involved in the search for a new permanent manager. However, he did not comment on the Italian's exit in Spurs' official statement, with only chairman Daniel Levy speaking.
Paratici's future in north London has been called into question over recent months, after he received a 30-month ban from Italian football by the Italian FA for his senior role in former club Juventus' alleged financial mismanagement. These suspensions could be lifted if Juve are cleared of any wrongdoing, but is otherwise expected to be expanded to the rest of the world by UEFA and FIFA, likely leading to his Spurs tenure coming to a premature end.
