Multiple reports have revealed that Tottenham have parted ways with chief scout, Leonardo Gabbanini, with journalist Matt Law even using the word ‘sacked’.
Football London say that Gabbanini has left his role at Tottenham despite working closely with Ange Postecoglou during the recent summer transfer window.
During this time, Spurs signed the likes of James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Manor Solomon, Ashley Phillips, Alejo Veliz, and Brennan Johnson.

Leonardo Gabbanini leaves Tottenham Hotspur
Gabbanini was first appointed by Fabio Paratici during his time as managing director of football, but has now left the club after just over a year of service.
Football London say that the Italian was brought into the club to ‘expand and improve Spurs’ scouting network’, but it appears that is no longer the case. However, Tottenham are said to be continuing down the data-driven scouting route.
Scott Munn started as the club’s new chief football officer today and his first task will be to hire a director of football type figure, but it appears a new chief scout may now also be required in North London.
Spurs Web Opinion:
This seems very strange just as Tottenham appear to have found their groove with scouting young players again. However, I’m sure there is a plan in place to bring in a new chief scout who aligns with what Postecoglou needs at Spurs.
