Fabio Paratici snubs Tottenham return despite Daniel Levy pushing to hire him
Fresh reports suggest that Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of bringing former director Fabio Paratici back have been dashed, with the Italian set for a return to Serie A.
Tottenham Hotspur’s former director Fabio Paratici is now available for work, having served his suspension which lasted until this summer.
It had been reported that AC Milan were keen on securing Paratici’s services, with the Italian himself eager to get back into the mix and compete for silverware.
This was a worrying prospect for the North London club, given that Paratici had been operating in a consultancy role for Tottenham.
While some Spurs fans have expressed a strong desire to see Paratici return in an official capacity, fresh reports have now poured cold water on that possibility.
Fabio Paratici set for AC Milan role despite Spurs’ interest
According to TBR Football, Fabio Paratici has agreed to become AC Milan’s next sporting director, turning down a potential return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Daniel Levy was reportedly keen on bringing him back in a role similar to what Luis Campos currently holds at Paris Saint-Germain, offering strategic input behind the scenes.
However, it now appears the Italian’s future lies in Italy, with Milan close to finalising his move to the San Siro as they aim to restore their status among Europe’s elite clubs.
What this means for Tottenham Hotspur’s rebuild
There’s no doubt Daniel Levy holds the ex-director in high regard, and why wouldn’t he? The Italian played a key role in securing some of Tottenham’s biggest signings in recent years.
That ship, however, seems to have sailed, leaving Spurs to move forward with their current director of football, Johan Lange, who has been overseeing operations for the past two seasons.
With Tottenham rumoured to be looking for a marquee midfield signing, they will now have to navigate the transfer market without Paratici’s influence, as he looks set to embark on his next challenge in Serie A.
