MANCHESTER, England — Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici will serve a worldwide ban for his part in a false accounting scandal involving Juventus. Italy's most famous soccer team was hit with a 15-point penalty in January and bans were also handed out to a number of its officials.

Paratici would have been expected to play a key role in identifying and hiring a successor to Antonio Conte at Tottenham.
