BREAKING NEWS: Tottenham's director of football Fabio Paratici has his 30-month ban from football - originally handed out by the Italian FA - extended WORLDWIDE by FIFA... meaning he'll have to QUIT if his appeal fails

Tottenham's Fabio Paratici will likely have to step away from his role as managing director of the club after FIFA extended worldwide a ban imposed on him by the Italian FA.

When Juventus were docked 15 points in January following the 'Prisma' investigation after they were found guilty of false accounting in relation to transfer dealings, several current and former executives of the club received bans.

His 30-month ban initially applied only to Italian football but the world governing body have now confirmed this will be extended across the world.

In a statement they said: 'FIFA can confirm that following a request by the Italian FA (FIGC), the chairperson of FIFA disciplinary committee has decided to extend the sanctions imposed by FIGC on several football officials to have worldwide effect.
