Tottenham ‘urgently seeking clarification’ over Paratici FIFA ban

Tottenham Hotspur managing director Fabio Paratici may have to step away from his role after FIFA extended his suspension “to have worldwide effect”.

Paratici was given a 30-month ban from Italian football in January after his former club Juventus were found guilty of false accounting.

The 50-year-old was sporting director and managing director at Juve before joining Tottenham in June 2021.

Spurs said they were “urgently seeking further clarification from FIFA”.

The Premier League club said in a statement that the decision had been taken “with no advance notice to any of the parties involved”.

Paratici and Juventus have both appealed against FIFA’s ruling.

Tottenham said: “This committee deliberation has been taken with no advance notice to any of the parties involved. We are urgently seeking further clarification from FIFA as to the details of the extension and its variance from the FIGC sanction.”

The club added they were only informed of the decision on Wednesday afternoon.

“We should like to make clear that when Fabio conducted the interview on club channels yesterday neither he nor the club had any indication of this decision being made by FIFA, based on the fact the the FIGC sanction was taken on 20 January 2023 and remains subject to an appeal on 19 April 2023,” the statement said.
