Tottenham have confirmed the appointment of Fabio Paratici as the club’s managing director of football.
The Italian recently left a similar position at Juventus after a trophy-laden 11 years where the Turin club dominated the Italian domestic league.

Although he does not officially start until July 1, Paratici is involved in the club’s managerial search and has made former Roma boss Paulo Fonseca his first choice.
As first reported by Sky in Italy, the Portuguese is expected to sign a three-year deal, but nothing has been agreed yet between the two parties.
Tottenham were in talks to appoint former Chelsea, Juventus and Italy head coach Antonio Conte after he left Inter Milan after guiding them to the Serie A title, but discussions eventually broke down.
