Tottenham manager Frank addresses Paratici exit rumours

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank insists he hasn't heard about rumours of sporting director Fabio Paratici leaving.

Paratici, who returned to Spurs only in October, is said to be in advanced talks with Fiorentina to replace their former sports director Daniele Prade.

“I think, first and foremost, it's not the first rumour I need to speak about. If it's a staff director or player, in general, I'm not speaking about that. I just try to focus on the Crystal Palace game and probably also something for someone higher up in the club,” Frank said in his pre-match press conference.

“It’s one of these where there’s a lot of rumours out there which I’m not really commenting on, players, staff, directors, it’s not for me to have a decision on.

“Right now, Fabio and Johan (Lange) are here, that’s what I relate to, and that’s what I’m focusing on.”
