Steve Hitchen has resigned as Tottenham's director of technical performance.
Following the arrival of Fabio Paratici at the club last summer as managing director of football with Spurs electing to go in a different direction after two poor seasons on the pitch, Hitchen has now decided the time is right to move on for a fresh challenge elsewhere.
First arriving at the club in 2005 after his playing career, Hitchen spent five years with Tottenham in scouting roles before linking up with Liverpool in 2010.
