Managing Director Football: Fabio Paratici

[dontcallme]

100% behind getting a DOF now, we've got ourselves into a right mess.

The interesting thing is many see Poch as a head coach but he seems to want to be more of a DOF.

 

[Kspur]

He's not in control of negotiating them but he's 100% in charge of who comes in or out.

We are often being told that was a Levy signing, or that was a Poch signing though, so 100% sounds high.

I'd love to see what monchi could achieve in the premier league.

Too bad he's already gone back to Sevilla this year.

probably discussed elsewhere but jose's title is head coach - isnt that the title of someone working under a DoF ?

Campos of Lille has been mentioned in the media. If so that sounds great, he's is much admired.

 

[SonicSarr]

Makes me think this is probably what caused Poch's "I'm just the coach" comment. DL wanted a Sporting Director and Poch didn't?

I would say Luis Campos is described as the best director of football right now

Anyone else will be really disappointing, mostly refreshing to see if he has signed already.

Luis Campos: The Transfer Genius Who Is One of Football's Most Wanted Men

What if the hottest property in modern football wasn't Kylian Mbappe or Matthijs de Ligt, but a balding, bespectacled 54-year-old who hasn't laced up his boots in over 30 years? ...

Is still official!?

Lily-white got a decent record??

yes, mostly regarding youth players though, dont think its itk, hes probably read it somewhere. hes basically a hotspur related type account, with occasional itk

 

[yankspurs]

Please let Luis Campos be true. Worrying that Lille only confirmed Santos and Sacramento

Assuming a director of football is a dearer and more complicated deal than a coach so bound to take longer.

Hope we do get a DOF in though as Levy needs to take a step back from transfers

Never seen him get one wrong.
By all accounts Poch would not work with a sporting director.
