A report from Italy claims that it is now only a matter of time before we see a big change behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur, with a new appointment now just ‘one step away’.
While a lot has been said about Tottenham’s search for a new head coach this summer, there are also expected to be wholesale changes in the Spurs hierarchy.
Some sources indicate that Scott Munn is expected to leave Spurs while Johan Lange may continue as the technical director.
A number of outlets have reported that Fabio Paratici is in line to return to Tottenham in a formal role when his FIFA ban expires this summer.
A report in Il Giorno (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now claimed that Paratici is now edging closer to a Spurs return, with the Italian said to be just ‘one step away’ from taking over in an official role at Hotspur Way.
It is explained that AC Milan initially had Paratici and Arsenal’s Andrea Berta as their two top targets to become their sporting director.
However, the Rossoneri have now accepted defeat in their pursuits and have turned their attention to Igli Tare, who is now the favourite to become the sporting director at the San Siro.

The outlet says that this has enabled Spurs to push ahead with a move for Paratici, with just the final step now to be completed before the 52-year-old seals a return to N17.
Paratici has already started working on hiring a new manager
Several outlets have claimed over recent weeks that Paratici has been tasked with hiring the next Tottenham head coach by Daniel Levy.
According to reports, Paratici wants his compatriot Francesco Farioli to replace Ange Postecoglou, with the Italian viewed as a young, ambitious, and tactically modern coach, who would be the right man to start a new cycle at N17.
Tottenham have received a boost in their pursuit of the 36-year-old over recent days as Farioli has now officially resigned from his role at Ajax.
