Crisis in Tottenham – AS.com

The poor dynamics of results is not the only problem that Daniel Levy, president of Tottenham, has to face. Not even the increasingly feasible departure of Antonio Conte when the current season ends. The scarce two victories harvested in the last six games, especially marked by the defensive problems of the teamdo not facilitate the continuity of the Italian technician in the position. Although the situation of Spurs It is not yet irreversible, since the London team currently occupies the 5th position in the Premier League and only six points separate it from the Champions League positions, doubts regarding the project have only increased in recent days. And it is that it is now, in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the setbacks also come from Italian lands.

The trial faced by Juventus as a result of the ‘capital gains case’ will also be very expensive for Tottenham: 15 point penalty for the team White blackTwo years of disqualification for Andrea Agnelli and Maurizio Arrivabene, one year and four months for Federico Cherubini, eight months for Pavel Nedved… and two and a half years of disqualification for former sports director Fabio Paratici! The current general director of football for the Spursparticipant in the plot for alleged fictitious capital gains during his time at the sports management of the Old lady, has been sanctioned by the Italian Federation after the hearing in the Court of Appeal.
