Official: Fabio Paratici resigns from Tottenham Hotspur

On Thursday, it was ruled that Fabio Paratici’s worldwide ban from football was to be upheld.

The Italian sporting director was banned by the Italian Football Federation for 30 months and FIFA extended the ban worldwide.

The ban is due to his involvement in the false accounting scandal at his former club, Juventus.

Subsequently, Paratici was no longer able to carry out his duties at Spurs and this morning, the club announced his resignation.
