"Tottenham are reportedly bracing for another significant off-field change, with co-sporting director Fabio Paratici set to leave the club for a second time just months after his return. According to a report from The Athletic, the 53-year-old Italian will join Serie A side Fiorentina in early February to head up their football operations, citing personal reasons for the sudden move."
"Paratici will not leave immediately; he is expected to remain in his post alongside Johan Lange to steer Tottenham through the remainder of the winter transfer window. The window closes for English clubs on Monday, February 2, after which Paratici will finalise his switch to Florence. Despite the impending exit, Paratici remains active in shaping the squad. He has been instrumental in orchestrating what is expected to be Spurs' first arrival of the month: the signing of Brazilian left-back Souza from Santos."
"Having only returned to North London in October 2025 following the expiration of his worldwide ban, the report suggests that he is return to his homeland for personal reasons'. The opportunity to lead Fiorentina offers a prestigious role closer to home, which appears to have tipped the scales for the Italian director.
