Tottenham's managing director Fabio Paratici has had an initial Italian ban for alleged financial wrongdoings extended worldwide by FIFA - leaving the club in a perilous position as they look to appoint a new manager.
The 50-year-old, who was appointed as Spurs' managing director in the summer of 2021, was one of 12 one-time Juventus board members penalised earlier this year by the Italian Football Federation, which resulted in the Serie A giants being hit with an immediate 15-point deduction.
Now, FIFA have confirmed in a statement to The Athletic that the bans, including Paratici's, have been applied worldwide: “FIFA can confirm that following a request by the FIGC, the chairperson of FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to extend the sanctions imposed by FIGC on several football officials to have a worldwide effect.”
