The Telegraph’s Matt Law has revealed that some of his sources think Fabio Paratici would no longer be at Tottenham were it not for the appointment of Antonio Conte.
When Conte arrived through the door to replace Nuno Espirito Santo last November, Fabrizio Romano revealed that it was Paratici who proved instrumental in bringing the Italian to the club.
However, this was subsequently contradicted by The Athletic, who claimed that it was Daniel Levy who drove the deal to appoint the 53-year-old.
Law has now reported that Paratici may have walked away from the club had he not been reunited with Conte, who he worked with at Juventus.
The journalist also added that the Italian will often ‘forcefully’ voice his opinions in the boardroom during meetings. Law alleges that the Spurs managing director of football has even been known to shout and offer his resignation in protests if decisions go against him.

All the top executives in any field are generally not shy about voicing their opinion. It is understandably why Paratici would not be happy if decisions go against him, given that he is supposed to be the head of Tottenham’s football department in his new role. However, I have a hard time believing that the Italian would have resigned if not for Conte’s arrival.
