Tottenham officially announce former Juventus chief Fabio Paratici as managing director with ‘outstanding track record’

On Saturday, Tottenham confirmed the Italian’s arrival with his job description defined as ‘managing and developing the club’s sporting operations at the club, facilities and footballing infrastructure’.

Paratici, 48, told the Spurs website: “I am thrilled by this fantastic opportunity and I thank the club and the chairman for the trust in me.

“Tottenham is one of the top clubs in the UK and in Europe with an ambitious long-term plan.

“I will dedicate all myself to this new venture and look forward to working with the management team to write a new and hopefully successful chapter in the club history.”

Emilia-Romagna native Paratici had already been tipped to leave Juventus following the club’s disappointing defence of its Serie A title.

In his 11 years in Turin, he worked behind the scenes in a numbers of roles to help oversee a hugely successful period on and off the pitch.

His playing career began with Piacenza before spells in Italy’s lower leagues, and he moved into Sampdoria’s scouting department in 2004.

The move will officially go through on July 1 with a new coach and the future of several players key to Tottenham’s summer.

Harry Kane and Serge Aurier have both openly discussed leaving the club with Paulo Fonseca, who Mourinho replaced at Roma, reportedly close to joining as manager.

Fonseca is confident of being named Tottenham manager this week, according to reports.

The Portuguese is said to be Spurs’ SEVENTH target after approaches to Julian Nagelsmann, Hansi Flick, Brendan Rodgers, Erik ten Hag, Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino all came to nothing.

I am delighted that he will be heading up the football side of the club as we look ahead to next season.

Daniel Levy

Chairman Daniel Levy said: “I’ve known Fabio for a number of years and he brings with him a wealth of experience in scouting, youth and football operations.

“He has an outstanding track record in assembling competitive squads. As we all know, Juventus have been a highly successful club and he has been a major part of that.

“He will be a great addition to the management structure. I am delighted that he will be heading up the football side of the club as we look ahead to next season.”
