Tottenham Hotspur has put its search for a new sporting director on hold. Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham announced during a recent Fan Advisory Board meeting that the position is no longer a key priority and will be revisited after the summer transfer window. Fabio Paratici, who previously held the role, left the club in February. Johan Lange, head coach Roberto De Zerbi, and newly appointed director of football operations Rafi Moersen will oversee recruitment for the upcoming transfer window. Venkatesham described the previous season as 'unacceptable' and emphasized the need to improve on-field performance.
