Tottenham's Fabio Paratici has been thrust into the spotlight this week after the decision of Italy's football federation to ban him for 30 months from anything coming under their remit with FIFA and UEFA also asked to extend that ban worldwide.
The 50-year-old joined Spurs as managing director of football in the summer of 2021 having left Juventus after 11 years in Turin. He has worked over two head coaches at Tottenham during those 18 months in Nuno Espirito Santo and now Antonio Conte and has signed 14 first team players since his arrival.
Here's exactly what happened yesterday in Italy, the responses or not from the clubs involved and what it could mean for Paratici and Tottenham.
