Tottenham have hired former City Football Group executive Scott Munn as their new chief football officer.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy had been leading a thorough review of the club s footballing activities over the past six months in a bid to ensure future progress and competitiveness .
The appointment of a chief football officer is considered a major step in that process, with Munn set to take charge of all football-related operations.
Munn s arrival is unrelated to Fabio Paratici s situation, with the Italian managing director of football having taken a step back pending his appeal against a 30-month worldwide ban for his alleged role in Juventus being found guilty of transfer irregularities.
If Paratici wins his appeal, which is due to be heard on April 19, he will answer directly to Munn, who also takes up a position on the Spurs board.
Confirming Munn s appointment, Levy said: Scott has a unique and broad experience of running sporting organisations at the highest level and will take responsibility for the leadership and management of our football activities to instil best practice both on and off the pitch.
Munn formerly held a senior role with City Football Group, the ownership company that Manchester City sit within, and was also Melbourne City CEO.
In 2019 the Australian was made CEO of City Football Group China – his new position will be Munn s first in the European game.
