Pundit identifies one problem Paratici might already have at Tottenham

Alan Hutton has hinted that Fabio Paratici might have some problems at Tottenham if he doesn’t get on with their next manager.

The Italian football administrator is set to become Tottenham’s director of football after reaching an agreement with the Lilywhites.

Spurs had been in talks with him alongside Antonio Conte, whom he worked well with during their time at Juventus.

Talks between Conte and Spurs broke down, but they still reached an agreement with Paratici.

Hutton says it would have been amazing if Spurs paired Conte and Paratici.

However, now that they have failed in bringing the former Chelsea boss back to England, Paratici might struggle.

He says he would have a great time doing his job at Spurs if he develops a good working relationship with their next manager, otherwise, there would be backroom problems at the club.

Hutton told Football Insider: “It could be good. I thought it was a good fit with Conte coming from Italy as well.

“They’ll probably know each other and it would have worked well.

“Of course, they still haven’t brought a manager in.

“If they bring someone that doesn’t necessarily like working with that sporting director, you’ve already got a problem before you’ve even started.”

Spurs are already reportedly in advanced talks to make Paulo Fonseca their next manager, but nothing is certain yet.
