The Italian side were banned from playing and stripped of 15 points in the domestic league in January after investigations revealed irregularities in the signing of players. At that time, Paratici and other Juventus coaches were also tried and banned from the local football field for 30 months.
However, according to The Guardian, FIFA has extended this condemnation on a global scale. With this, Paratici will not be able to continue his role at Tottenham, where he has been since leaving Italy.
"FIFA can confirm that, at the request of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), the President of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to extend the sanctions imposed by the FIGC on many other football officials. each other so that they have a global impact," the organization said. said in a statement. .
The ban of the sporting director came shortly after the English team announced the resignation of coach Antonio Conte. Looking for a new manager for next season, Tottenham are currently 4th in the Premier League with 49 points from 28 appearances.

Pep Guardiola Man City vs Copenhagen
According to a report, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are two clubs trying their best to acquire one of the best young centre-backs in Europe.
Pep Guardiola already has solid options at center back, as he can count on Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte and Manuel Akanji. This incredible squad depth allows Guardiola to choose a strong starting line-up in cup competitions while giving his usual starters a break.
However, there will be some changes to the defence at City this summer. Laporte could leave as he is forced to spend more time on the bench following Akanji's arrival last summer. Laporte has made just 16 appearances in all competitions so far in the campaign. That was partly due to his absence for the first two months of the season after undergoing knee surgery, but also because of Guardiola, who preferred using Ake, Dias or Akanji.
Stones has faced reduced game time, as has Laporte, although he is expected to stay at City and fight for his place.
Clubs are aware of Laporte's disappointment and have begun planning a summer transfer for him. Barcelona would love to take him to the Camp Nou. However, they may have to sell one from Raphinha or Ansu Fati before they can reach City's asking price.
According to a recent report from Football Transfers, Tottenham have launched a rather bold investigation with Man City into the 28-year-old player. But it will be a surprise if Man City approves this move, as it will strengthen the opponent of the 'Big Six' in the Premier League.
While Laporte hopes to leave Guardiola's side at the end of the year, The Citizens are aiming to bring in highly rated Croatian midfielder Luka Vuskovic.
Man City and PSG excited by Croatia's hope
He is only 16 years old but has already been promoted to the first team of Hajduk Split. He has made five appearances for the club so far, scoring one goal.
Vuskovic has been compared to RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol as he shows his maturity in defense after many years.
And City want to beat the rest of Europe's top leagues by getting past them first.
On 20 March, The Athletic journalist David Ornstein revealed that City had sent Hajduk an offer for Vuskovic. However, there have not been many updates on the situation since then. 90Min has now provided their information on the transfer procedure. They claim City have submitted an offer of 12 million euros (£10.5 million) for the child prodigy, after being given the green light by Guardiola.
However, Man City will have to continue negotiating with Hajduk. Indeed, the Croatian outfit value their prized possessions at €15m (£13.2m).
Moreover, Man City must be wary of PSG. Christophe Galtier's team made a private offer for Vuskovic. 90Min doesn't reveal its exact value, but it's likely similar to City's offer.
90Min added that Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham are also keeping an eye on Vuskovic. However, their interest is not as high as Man City or PSG.
Vuskovic's next destination will largely depend on which club bids the most for him. But players will also have a say in where they end up.
He has to choose carefully because he doesn't want to go to a club that doesn't have a clear path to the first team. It will completely delay its development, which has been very interesting so far.
