Fabio Paratici may have influence on Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs future
It has emerged that Fabio Paratici might be among those who could have an influence on Tottenham’s decision regarding Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs future, even though the Italian left his role at the club a year and a half ago.
Fabio Paratici’s time at Tottenham
Most Spurs fans will agree that Paratici‘s time as Spurs’ managing director of football was a successful one, although some of his decisions, such as the one to appoint Nuno Espirito Santo, failed.
The Italian certainly had an eye for talent, with most of his signings proving hits at the North London club, not least the likes of Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pedro Porro and Pape Sarr.
Paratici eventually resigned from his role in April of last year after being hit with a ban for his role in Juventus’ alleged false accounting scandal, but he has since continued working as a consultant with the club.
Paratici could impact Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs future
The Telegraph have now named the influential voices inside and outside Spurs whose input Daniel Levy will lean on before deciding on Postecoglou‘s future.
The report says that one of those men will be Paratici, who reportedly continues to advise Tottenham on transfers, and maintains a good relationship with the club’s chairman.
More than a year and a half after his resignation, the 52-year-old is still thought to regularly attend Spurs’ home games, usually sitting in CAA Base’s corporate box.
With Paratici having Levy’s ear, the Tottenham supremo is expected to speak to him among several others regarding Postecoglou.
Fabio Paratici’s suggestion may not have much weight
During Paratici’s time at Spurs, the club went for pragmatic managers in Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte, while also holding discussions with people such as Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso.
That paints a picture of Paratici’s preferred footballing philosophy, which is why it is highly unlikely that Postecoglou would have been his recommendation.
One doubts if the Italian’s opinion would hold too much weight in Levy’s eventual decision to either continue with or sack the Australian.
