Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici has had his appeal against his 30-month ban from Italian football rejected. Paratici was implicated for his role in former club Juventus' alleged financial mismanagement, leading to suspensions being handed down to a number of key officials.
Although his 30-month ban was initially for Italian football, it was extended worldwide by FIFA at the end of March. Paratici's appeal was heard by the Italian Olympic Committee on Wednesday and his appeal was rejected late on Thursday afternoon.
It is unclear whether there is a further stage to Paratici's appeal against his ban. Paratici was not the only official to have his appeal rejected, with Andrea Agnelli and Federico Cherubini in the same boat. However, the appeals of Pavel Nedved, Paolo Garimberti and Enrico Vellano were accepted.
