Tottenham Hotspur have experienced plenty of change within the upper echelons of the club in recent months, and another departure is set to happen.
There was surprise when Daniel Levy departed Tottenham from his role as chairman after nearly 25 years in charge in September.
Levy followed executive director Donna-Maria Cullen out of the door in N17 as part of wholesale changes made by the Lewis family.
Now, Fabio Paratici is set to depart from his role as co-sporting director in order to take up a role at Serie A side Fiorentina.
Paratici to leave Spurs after transfer window closes
Paratici was only officially appointed to the co-sporting director position at Tottenham in October, with his departure coming a little over two months from taking up the role.
The Italian has been working alongside Johan Lange in heading up the recruitment at the Europa League champions, and now, yet more change is on the way in North London.
Paratici was slapped with a two-and-a-half year global football ban by Fifa in January 2023 after being found guilty of orchestrating a transfer scam at Juventus.
MORE SPURS STORIES
The North Londoners are yet to sign a player in the January transfer window, despite the club’s poor fortunes on the pitch, which has seen them already eliminated from both domestic cups, along with their lowly Premier League position.
Ironically, Fiorentina signed Manor Solomon on loan from Tottenham on a short-term deal until the summer, which will make many Spurs fans sit up and ponder whether this was an early Paratici deal.
Paratici has shown little loyalty to Tottenham
Tottenham remained loyal to Paratici while he was experiencing his suspension issues and kept him involved in footballing matters as an official advisor, only for him now to turn his back on the club.
Paratici said he loved Tottenham when he was re-appointed in an official capacity this year, but will now jet back to his homeland barely after the ink had dried on his contract.
Tottenham fans must now be seriously concerned for the direction of the club in this window and future windows, with Lange’s track record having been far from impressive.
