football.london/Alasdair Gold
Football.london understands that Tottenham Hotspur Chief Football Officer Scott Mann has gone on a gardening holiday.
Mann, a 51-year-old Australian, joined only two years ago after the delay in the announcement of his joining the club from City Football Group. During his time as a member of the club, he was an associate with Angi Postecoglu. However, Mann’s tenure seemed to be coming to an end with Postekoguru being fired after the Europa League championship in Bilbao this month and the new CEO, Vinai Venkatesham.
Understanding football.london, although no official announcement has been made, Mann is currently on gardening leave from his North London club job. The Spurs are currently continuing to see changes in the upper management.
With Venkatesham inaugurated Tottenham, he appointed Thomas Frank as his new manager. It has also been announced that Donna Maria Cullen, the club’s executive director who has been Daniel Levy’s aide for many years, will be leaving the club this summer, having left the board.
Former football manager Fabio Paratici is a strong view among staff members within the club that he will return by the end of the year. The Italian still has a consulting contract with the Spurs until the end of August, and the end of suspensions for certain football activities is nearing. Paratici is still a party to the ongoing civil trial in Italy, which concerns events during his tenure in Juventus.
When Mann joined Tottenham in 2023 as the newly established Chief Football Officer, Levy said:
“Scott has a unique and extensive experience running top-level sports organizations and will be responsible for coaching and managing football activities to bring best practices on and off the pitch to the club.”
