Tottenham Hotspur are set to announce the return of Fabio Paratici as sporting director, according to reports - and his appointment back in the hot seat will see the Italian opt to immediately replace Ange Postecoglou after a dismal season on domestic soil, regardless of their achievements in the Europa League final.
It's set to be their worst Premier League season to date, having finished 15th in the 1993/94 campaign, and that will see Postecoglou lose his job with only the bottom three having lost more games than Tottenham in the current campaign - and despite reaching the Europa League final, Ange is set to be given the boot, with Francesco Farioli and more reportedly to be pursued to replace him.
Report: Tottenham Have Made Their Big Ange Decision
The Aussie is set to leave in the days after the final
The report by The Sun states that Paratici's return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is set to be confirmed, as the Italian director's first task looks to be lining up a replacement for Postecoglou - and that will see the Aussie relieved of his duties as Spurs boss, regardless of whether he wins the Europa League or not.
Spurs have lost 21 of their 37 Premier League games, and can only finish in a maximum 14th place in the division, whilst a draw would see them finish only as high as 16th should Manchester United lose their final game of the campaign.
The north London club are one game away from winning their first trophy in 17 years, but a poor domestic campaign has meant that the Aussie gaffer is teetering on the verge of the exit door - and that will see Paratici reportedly make a move for Farioli to replace him despite Ajax crumbling in the Eredivisie title race.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Ange Postecoglou has won 46 of his 99 games in charge of Tottenham.
Paratici's influence on who Tottenham will add to their ranks in the coming weeks will be huge, and although Simone Inzaghi is 'close' to him, the Inter Milan chief is set to stick with the Champions League finalists next season - and that will see Farioli come into the mix. The former Nice boss is highly regarded for his work in France on a tight budget, as well as his ability to drag Ajax back to the Champions League after a dreadful campaign last time out.
