Tottenham Reinstates Fabio Paratici as Joint Sporting Director

The move follows the end of his 30‑month ban, signaling Spurs' shift to a dual-director model with a forthcoming football-operations hire.

Overview

  • Tottenham appointed Paratici as co-sporting director alongside Johan Lange, who is promoted from technical director.
  • CEO Vinai Venkatesham said Lange will oversee scouting, performance, analysis and the academy, with Paratici focused on players, transfers, loans and pathways.
  • The club will recruit a director of football operations to complete the new men’s football leadership structure.
  • Paratici resigned in April 2023 after losing an appeal against a 30‑month FIGC ban that FIFA extended worldwide over the Juventus false‑accounting case.
  • A Rome judge last month accepted a plea bargain that left Paratici with an 18‑month suspended sentence, avoiding immediate prison time.
