Tottenham Bring Back Fabio Paratici as Joint Sporting Director in Leadership Overhaul

The move caps his post-ban rehabilitation, with a Rome plea deal clearing the way for a formal return.

Overview

  • Tottenham confirmed Fabio Paratici’s full-time return to work alongside Johan Lange, who has been promoted from technical director.
  • Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham endorsed the dual-appointment model as laying foundations for sustained success in the men’s football setup.
  • The club set out complementary remits: Lange will focus on scouting, performance and the academy, while Paratici will lead on players, transfers, loans and pathways.
  • Spurs will add a director of football operations to support the pair as part of the reworked leadership structure.
  • Paratici completed a 30-month FIFA-extended ban and recently received an 18-month suspended sentence via a Rome plea bargain that required no admission of guilt, having consulted for Spurs in recent months.
