The Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare has revealed that some at Tottenham Hotspur are not happy that Fabio Paratici continues to work for the club on a consultancy basis.
Paratici stepped down from his position as Tottenham’s managing director of football back in April after his ban was upheld by FIFA for his alleged involvement in Juventus‘ capital gains scandal.
Although Spurs have been linked with several sporting directors across Europe over the past few months (ASRomaLive.it), they are yet to officially confirm a replacement for the Italian.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold reported a few days ago that Paratici has been seen in attendance in all of Tottenham’s home matches so far this season.
The journalist explained that the 50-year-old has continued working for the club on a consultancy basis through the summer after his ban was partially removed.

Paratici is still consulting Tottenham Hotspur
This information has now been backed up by Eccelshare, who explains that while employing Paratici is perfectly legal, some at the club think that the optics do not look great.
The journalist adds that many at Tottenham are ‘uncomfortable’ with the arrangement between the club and the Italian.

I suspect Tottenham will not be employing Paratici’s services going forward, with the club now seemingly prioritising bringing in a new director of football ahead of the January window.
