Fabio Paratici’s Permitted and Prohibited Activities During Ban
Former Juventus and Tottenham executive Fabio Paratici is currently serving a 30-month suspension imposed by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in 2023, which was later extended worldwide by FIFA. This ban significantly limits his involvement in football-related activities until July 20, 2025.
Despite recent speculation, Paratici will not be assuming the role of sporting director at AC Milan. The club has determined that the legal complications surrounding his potential appointment would be too challenging to overcome.
While Paratici faces strict limitations on his activities, there are still a few tasks he is permitted to carry out before his ban expires in July:
Activities Paratici Can Perform:
- Handle administrative tasks
- Visit club offices
- Observe training sessions
Activities Paratici Cannot Perform:
- Represent any club in an official capacity
- Participate in activities involving football governing bodies
- Enter dressing rooms or training facilities
- Attend meetings with players, agents, or club staff
- Conduct negotiations or discussions with potential new players
It’s important to note that Paratici is not currently affiliated with any club, having resigned from his position at Tottenham in 2023. The restrictions on his activities apply to any potential future roles in football until the ban is lifted.
These limitations underscore the severity of the penalties imposed on Paratici and highlight the challenges he faces in returning to a prominent role in football management once his suspension ends.
