Fabio Paratici, the former Tottenham Hotspur director, has re‑joined the club after a 30‑month FIFA ban that barred him from all football‑related duties. The ban, imposed in late 2019, stemmed from investigations into alleged misconduct during transfer dealings that affected both Italian and English football.
When the suspension finished at the end of January, Tottenham welcomed Paratici back into the boardroom. He will resume his role in overseeing player recruitment and commercial strategy, a position he held before stepping down when the FIFA ruling came into force. Tottenham’s chief executive said they were eager to benefit from his experience and network, which could help the club in future Premier League‑level negotiations.
Paratici’s return comes amid a broader push by many football clubs to strengthen governance and rebuild trust with fans. The 30‑month ban had cost him a year of income and left a gap in several key projects he was spearheading.
The Football Association confirmed that Tottenham’s structure will remain compliant with all UEFA and Premier League regulations, and that Paratici’s appointment will not affect the club’s compliance with financial fair play requirements.
For the club, the move signals a commitment to restoring stability after a period of uncertainty. Fans will see whether Paratici’s experience can bring fresh momentum to Tottenham’s on‑field performance and commercial growth. The team’s next season will be monitored closely, with pundits and supporters alike hoping his return will help Tottenham secure new talent and improve on‑pitch results.
