Fabio Paratici (born 13 July 1972) is an Italian association football director and former footballer. He made his professional debut as a footballer with Piacenza in 1989, playing in Serie C1, the third tier of Italian football at the time.[1] During his career, Paratici frequently moved throughout the lower divisions of Italian football, playing for various clubs in Serie C1 and Serie C2. He retired in 2004 at the age of 31, having played for 12 different clubs in 15 years. After his career ended, he remained involved in football through management. Paratici worked as chief observer and head of scouting of Italian club Sampdoria and established a successful partnership with Giuseppe Marotta that was repeated at Juventus, Italy's most renowned club, where he worked as chief football officer for about eleven years.[2] In June 2021, Paratici joined English club Tottenham Hotspur as managing director of football, resigning on 21 April 2023 after his conviction for financial malpractice in the Italian Football Federation Plusvalenze investigation. The Plusvalenze sports trial also carried a 30-month ban from football, which FIFA has extended worldwide. Paratici has also been indicted in an Italian criminal investigation into the same instances of financial malpractice and is currently awaiting trial.[3]
