Fabio Paratici difficulty emerges at Tottenham as return wanted
Fabio Paratici wants to return to football after leaving his role at Tottenham due to his 30-month suspension in 2023.
The Italian chief was disqualified after the investigation into Juventus’ capital gains scandal, but his suspension is set to end on 30 June.
Paratici appears to have some influence at Spurs after what has happened behind the scenes with the managerial links.
The 52-year-old was reportedly pushing Daniel Levy to get Simone Inzaghi as Ange Postecoglou’s replacement at the North London outfit recently [Inter Live].
Tottenham return for Paraticci difficult
It will be difficult for Paratici to resume his work at the Lilywhites once his ban is lifted, according to Tuttosport.
The news outlet reports (2 March) that the former Spurs managing director wants to return to the game and is evaluating several options.
| Tottenham’s signings this season |
| Dominic Solanke |
| Archie Gray |
| Wilson Odobert |
| Lucas Bergvall |
| Antonin Kinksky |
| Min-hyeok Yang |
| Kevin Danso |
| Mathys Tel |
While the 52-year-old apparently still has a good relationship with the North London outfit’s chiefs, returning to N17 will be challenging.
The former Tottenham chief is in discussion with other Premier League clubs but also has a strong desire to return to Italy, with AC Milan an intriguing option.
Spurs will have to live without Paratici
Paratici joined Spurs as the managing director of football in 2021 and went on to sign some impressive players in N17.
Antonio Conte made his way to the North London outfit, and while the Italian manager’s time ended in an abrupt fashion, it was an ambitious appointment.
The Lilywhites also signed Dejan Kulusevski after Paratici’s arrival, and his connections at Juventus would have arguably helped them complete a deal.
Spurs signed Cristian Romero from Atalanta, and the Argentine World Cup winner has since been an influential figure at the club.
Rodrigo Bentancur is another player who switched Italian football for the North London outfit during Paratici’s reign.
The Lilywhites seemed to be steadying their ship under the Italian chief but have faltered a bit since his departure.
Postecoglou has struggled to get the best out of Spurs this season, and his squad has seemingly lacked depth, which hasn’t helped the cause.
Paratici should be in contention to return to the North Londoners, but whether that will happen remains to be seen.
