Tottenham acting head coach Cristian Stellini says the resignation of managing director of football Fabio Paratici will not affect the team.
The 50-year-old lost his appeal against a 30-month ban, which was extended "to have worldwide effect" by Fifa, from Italian football.
Paratici was banned after Juventus, where he was sporting director and managing director, were found guilty of false accounting.
"It's not a shock," said Stellini.
"It's been a couple of weeks that Fabio was not here, we are well prepared. Nothing changes in this situation.
"But humanly we're very close to Fabio, all of us.
