OFFICIAL: Tottenham announce appointment of Fabio Paratici as Managing Director of Football.

Tottenham Hotspur haven’t (quite) appointed a new manager after nearly two months of searching, but they have finalized a pretty significant shake-up in their back office.

Fabio Paratici will be responsible for "managing and developing the sporting operations at the Club, facilities and footballing infrastructure," according to a statement on Tottenham's website.

The former chief football ffficer at Juventus said: “I am thrilled by this fantastic opportunity and I thank the club and the Chairman for the trust in me. 

"Tottenham is one of the top clubs in the UK and in Europe with an ambitious long-term plan. I will dedicate all myself to this new venture and look forward to working with the management team to write a new and hopefully successful chapter in the club's history.” 

Daniel Levy said: “I've known Fabio for a number of years and he brings with him a wealth of experience in scouting, youth and football operations. He has an outstanding track record in assembling competitive squads. As we all know, Juventus have been a highly successful club and he has been a major part of that. He will be a great addition to the management structure. I am delighted that he will be heading up the football side of the club as we look ahead to next season.”
