Acting Tottenham boss Cristian Stellini has been speaking about Fabio Paratici's ban from football and how he used his own time out of the game to improve himself and has also spoken about under-fire defender Davinson Sanchez.
Paratici resigned from his role as Spurs' managing director of football after he lost his appeal on Thursday against his two-and-a-half year Italian football federation ban, which had been extended globally by FIFA, for his part in the Juventus controversy over false accounting.
Stellini knows all about sitting out of the sport after his own ban from football more than 10 years ago. The Calcioscommesse match-fixing scandal swept through Italian football as large numbers of players, coaches and officials were questioned across a wave of investigations in 2011 and 2012 with a number banned for up to five years. Among those caught up in the cases to varying degrees in 2012 were Antonio Conte, who ended up with a 10-month ban knocked down to four, and Stellini who was handed an 18-month ban.
