the decline of the manager of Tottenham- Corriere.it

Never were statements more timely than those made on Tuesday by Fabio Paratici, general manager of Tottenham. He had said on the club’s social channels about the consensual separation from Antonio Conte: We have made the best decision for everyone. There are many now in England scolding Spurs and al President Levi a lack of foresight in organizing the interview since, after less than 24 hours and with cynical timing, the pronouncement of Fifa arrived (a measure that arrived without notice, then specified the club in the evening with a press release). The highest body in world football, responding to the request for clarification from the English media, confirmed that the president of the FIFA disciplinary commission has decided that the inhibition of the executives sanctioned by the Italian sports justice must be extended to a global level. Thus the 30-month inhibition against Fabio Paratici it will also be valid in England, with immediate executive effect. Tottenham then asked for clarifications: We urgently ask FIFA for further clarifications on the details of the extension and its exemption from the FIGC sanction

Fifa, reads the note, accepts the invitation from the FIGC: in practice it complies with the sentence of the Federal Court of Appeal which last January 20, in the capital gains trial, in addition to inflicting a 15-point penalty on Juventus, had disqualified the managers bianconeri with request for extension in UEFA and Fifa.

So what can Fabio Paratici do in the London club, already shaken after the earthquake linked to the divorce from Conte? He may limit himself to internal meetings, but will be prevented, until the end of the disqualification, from conducting negotiations and contacting agents and executives to negotiate contracts and transfers. the most difficult moment in the career of the manager who in Turin experienced one of the most successful cycles in the club’s history with a streak of nine consecutive championships. the man who led the operation that led, despite the doubts of the then CEO Beppe Marotta, Cristiano Ronaldo to Turin: the purchase that sent the club’s accounts out of business, even before Covid weighed down the budgets.

In 2018, after Marotta’s farewell, Paratici’s powers increased and with them the ruthlessness (apart from capital gains, remember the Suarez case). Now, after making Tottenham spend more than 300 million euros in two years, he’s forced to stop (he was the only manager affected by the inhibition still in business). No one like him awaiting the outcome of the appeal to the Coni Guarantee College: appointment on April 19th.
