Tottenham is closing in on confirming the appointment of Fabio Paratici as their director of football.
The Italian had tremendous success at Juventus and Spurs hope he can bring some of that and trophies to their club.
He is expected to be announced any moment from now and should be in charge of most things football at the club.
The spotlight has always been on Daniel Levy who runs Tottenham very well on the business side of things.
He is expected to hand everything football related over to Paratici, but former West Ham man turned pundit, Frank McAvennie, believes that Levy will struggle with relinquishing responsibilities to Paratici.
He urged the long-time Spurs supremo to focus on what he does best which is the business side of running the club and allow Paratici to handle the football side of things.
However, he admits that Levy is too hands-on to allow that to happen.
“Levy will still be pulling the strings,” McAvennie told Football Insider.
“He’s too hands-on. He’s great at running a football club but he’s no good at running a team.
“You have to let football people deal with the football. Some of these people would love to be managers.
“Levy will probably reckon he can do the job as a manager. But he can’t.
“You just run the club, give it to someone who knows what they are doing in football.”
