Tottenham Hotspur’s players are reportedly not happy about sporting director Fabio Paratici’s behaviour during games.
The Sun reports the new director is making the players uncomfortable, as he’s together with the team group during the games due to the anti-COVID protocol.
Spurs have won their first three games in the Premier League, but the players are reportedly not happy with the behaviour of Paratici and Steve Hitchen during games.
With the two directors present, the players feel they are not able to speak freely to each other and they are not fond of the constant shouting at match officials or the team during the games.
The Sun writes the senior directors have ‘had seats on the bench for both home games this season’ and a source of the newspaper claimed: “It just doesn’t sit right with the players.
“The substitutes on the bench don’t feel they are able to speak freely among themselves with those guys sitting next to them.
“The players as a whole don’t like it when the two of them are on their feet shouting at the match officials or the team.”
Paratici left Juventus when his contract at the Old Lady expired and joined the Londoners this summer.
Tottenham’s new sporting director has a history of disputes with match officials over the years with the Bianconeri and was fined €50,000 in total during his time with the club.

I could give you a list of things about work I hate too. I’m sure everyone can. except we aren’t being paid as much as these guys!
yeah like spurs players actually have any passion about their club, not used to a winning mentality in any sense.
The Spurs players now showing the lead of wokeness. Forget how Harry Kane is basically lieing to the fans , this is bigger.
They can F off. The players of course.
Please be brave enough to name these senior players you claim to have information about.
Awww poor babies don’t like the boss being around so they can act unprofessional? Welcome to the real world.
Lo Stilo Juve
If true, then it’s time for these kids to grow up.
These Spurs players really have control over their club actions. Remember the news when spurs wanted to sign Conte but then pull it off because the players afraid of how Conte will train their asses to the bone. Now they don’t like their boss to show on the dug because they cannot ‘freely’ talk to each other. LOL.
I like how they give no context to his fines accumulating 50k troughout the years. Without much thinking I could easily imagine one say ‘major’ fine of about 30k and the rest small stuff that might’ve been given because of some sort of regional slang said at a heated moment (not like it ever happens in the EPL but let’s point at what we must keep the focus at, right).
