# Tottenham: Romano makes claim on Paratici ‘masterpiece’

**Famed transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed sporting director and club chief Fabio Paratici has pulled off a ‘masterpiece’ at [Tottenham Hotspur.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/)**

### The Lowdown: Good times return?

The brief Nuno Espirito Santo era is one Spurs supporters will be hoping to quickly forget.

Paratici’s decision to appoint the ex-Wolves boss was met with criticism, particularly after Nuno was given his marching orders for terrible results and an arguable lack of exciting football ([The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10152191/TOTTENHAM-FAN-VIEW-Nuno-doomed-day-one-Daniel-Levy-pick-right.html)).

Seven months on, new manager Antonio Conte has re-instilled faith in Lilywhites and guided them to a possible Champions League qualification finish – depending on how north London rivals Arsenal finish the campaign.

To even be competing for a [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) top four place seemed like a pipe dream back in November, testament to Conte’s phenomenal job at Hotspur Way.

### The Latest: Romano makes ‘masterpiece’ claim…

Taking to[Twitter](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1524853347710386185?s=21&t=l7N9k_YqQuqzJmRXt5tG6Q), Romano claims Spurs official Paratici was actually responsible for bringing in the former Chelsea manager – claiming he’s pulled off a ‘masterpiece’.

The journalist explained:

*“Tottenham can’t lose Antonio Conte at the end of the season, no matter what happens with UCL race. He completely changed everything in the club since Paratici did a masterpiece to appoint him. #THFC Conte will meet with Levy at the end of the season to decide his future.”*

### The Verdict: Interesting claim…

Question marks surrounded Paratici following a 50/50 January transfer window but the game-changing Conte appointment appears to have vindicated chairman Daniel Levy’s decision to hire him.

Now, all focus for the 49-year-old will be on spearheading the club’s transfer assaults for this summer as he aims to back Conte and ensure that he can get most, if not all, of the [six summer signings](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/04/20/antonio-conte-targets-six-summer-signings-spurs-face-homegrown/) allegedly on the ex-Inter Milan boss’ radar.
