Fabio Paratici will leave his position as sports director del Tottenham after FIFA said it had extended the ban imposed on him in Italy around the world after his former club Juventus out found guilty in the sports justice trial in the capital gains case. Paratici, who joined Spurs in 2021, was one of several former and current Juventus managers to receive lengthy suspensions.
His 30-month ban initially only applied to Italian soccer, but FIFA told The Guardian that the sanction will be extended: «FIFA can confirm that, following a request from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), the president of the disciplinary committee has decided to extend the sanctions imposed by FIGC on various football officials so that they take effect worldwide..
But beware, according to Sky Sports News, Paratici cannot engage in any transfer market activity directly, cannot speak to agents or negotiate deals, which is a core part of his job as general manager of football, but he gets to work internally at Spurs, including attending meetings. That yes, andHe is awaiting official clarification on the matter, for example whether he may be involved in Tottenham’s search for a new permanent manager after Antonio Conte’s departure.
So everything will depend on the response given to the appeal presented by the sports director and by Juventus, from which a response will be received this coming April.
