Paratici returns to Italy to take up Fiorentina role after Tottenham stint

January 15 – Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Fabio Paratici is heading back to Italy – to take up a position at Fiorentinia – leaving the club just three and a half months after being reappointed as sporting director. Spurs, once again, are left explaining another senior exit that raises more questions than answers.

His first spell, as managing director of football from 2021 to 2023, ended in embarrassment with a global ban following alleged financial malpractice during his time at Juventus.
