How can the Italian FA impose a World wide ban?

Didn't they do it just for Italy? And now FIFA have done world wide?

2021
Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici may have to step away from his current role after Fifa extended an initial ban in Italy worldwide.

Paratici was given a 30-month ban in January after his former club Juventus were found guilty of false accounting.
The 50-year-old served as sporting director and managing director at Juventus before joining Tottenham in June 2021.

Paratici and Juventus have both appealed the decision.

Paratici's initial ban only applied to Italian football, meaning he was able to continue working at Tottenham.

FIFA did

The false accounting at Juve related to the years 2019-2021. Levy appointed Paratici in July 2021. Did it not occur to Levy to do the due diligence? You can bet Levy and Lewis wouldn't hire any key executives for ENIC without checking that the people concerned were squeaky clean.

We are in the dirt right now. Even the women’s team doesn’t have a manager. It never rains but it pours!

Didn't know we had a womens team....

Surely you're not insinuating FIFA would take bungs!

 

[Chedozie]

Incompetence at the top is reaching new levels, I don’t think Levy is focused on football anymore, he seemingly has more interest in maximising the stadiums revenue potential.

 

[Dennism]

We need to get rid of Paratici as soon as possible. The club is getting dragged through the dirt enough and he just adds to the problem. What decent manager would want to join us and work with him? He is not the sort of person we want to be associated with.

If Nuno was Paratici's choice, maybe we're better off without him.

Pick your new manager and ask them who they want as DoF????

I'm as big a Levy out man as anyone on this site, but even I can't blame him for not being able to trawl through Juve's accounts with a fine tooth comb(not that he owns or needs one).

Lets be honest here Nuno was only FP's choice in as much as we'd exhausted every opportunity and were getting dogs abuse(rightly so) from all quarters. He was a panic appointment dropped in our lap by Mendes because of the situation we'd left ourselves in, with Half the managers we looked at turning us down and Levy or the fans having issues with the other half.

Utter shit show.
All the good work we did in raising our profile with 2019 CL run all undone by the fucking circus that has ensued since that day.
Utter shit show

They didn’t. FIFA did after the Italian FA brought the case to them

Great news then. Welcome home Poch

Well Levy wouldn’t have access to the finances and deal sheets to do this research. He was hiring a person, not buying a company.
