Fabio Paratici has lost his appeal against his 30-month ban by the Italian FA - and now faces an increasingly uncertain future at Tottenham.
Juventus had their 15-point reduction for false accounting suspended pending a retrial and immediately jump up to third place in Serie A. But Paratici, who worked at the Turin club from 2010 until 2021, failed in his bid to have his suspension overturned by Italy’s highest sports court on Thursday.
FIFA last month made the Italian ban worldwide and the Italian, 50, was forced to step aside from his role as Tottenham’s sporting director. Paratici is unable to play any part in recruiting the next head coach following the departure of Antonio Conte.
