FIFA Slams Worldwide Ban On Tottenham Managing Director Fabio Paratici

The world football governing body, FIFA has extended the ban placed on Tottenham Hotspur Managing Director, Fabio Paratici in Italy to have an effect across the world.

Fabio Paratici who joined Tottenham Hotspur from Juventus in 2021 was banned in Italy for 30 months as his former club, Juventus were found guilty of false accounting in January 2023.

The whole board of the Serie A club, including president Andrea Agnelli and vice president Pavel Nedved, were also banned in the country due to the crime committed during Paratici’s time at the club.

Juventus who are still fighting to return to the top four in the Italian Serie A were slammed with 15 points deduction due to the crime.

Fortunately for Fabio Paratici, the ban in Italy didn’t affect his new job in England initially. But that has changed following a statement from FIFA on Wednesday, March 29.
