Tottenham ‘to make prominent Paratici announcement’ as image emerges
Fabio Paratici could be closing in on a return to Tottenham after a recent image emerged online.
Paratici was forced to resign from his position as Managing Director of Football at Tottenham in April 2023 after he was banned from working in football for 30 months for his role in alleged false accounting at his former club, Juventus.
However, thanks to a successful appeal of the extent of his ban, the 52-year-old has been allowed to continue working in the football industry as a consultant and adviser.
As a result, Paratici has continued to assist Tottenham behind the scenes, and it looks as though the Italian could soon emerge from the shadows in North London.

Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King has suggested that Paratici is keen to return to Tottenham after talks between the 52-year-old and AC Milan broke down.
With his ban from working in football set to be lifted in July, a recent image suggests a return to Tottenham might already be lined up.
| Club | Role | Dates |
| Sampdoria | Chief Scout | July 20024-June 2010 |
| Juventus | Sporting Director | July 2010-May 2021 |
| Tottenham | Sporting Director | July 2021-April 2023 |
Paratici could be seen in attendance for Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Frankfurt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, 10 April, sitting in a box with a few Tottenham legends [onlyonepk].
Therefore, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – has suggested it is only a matter of time until an announcement is made.
“I think Paratici will return to Tottenham,” Wenham said.
“Hopefully, his return leads to some other departures behind the scenes. I think Paratici elevates the level of the club.
“His contacts and his network make us a far more serious club when he is involved. Therefore, hopefully, it will be announced soon that Paratici is returning to Tottenham in a prominent role. What that might be, I’m not sure.”
Paratici to help turn things around at Tottenham
It has been a miserable season for Spurs. Therefore, bringing Paratici back to North London might be exactly what is needed.
His connections could help in any potential manager hunt this summer. As a result, Levy needs to do what it takes to get a deal across the line.
