Fabio Paratici has handed in his resignation at Tottenham and it could be great news for West Ham in the race to appoint Will Still.

Will Still is a managerial target for both Tottenham and West Ham, and Fabio Paratici resigning from his role as Director of Football at Spurs may well make it easier for the Hammers to appoint the 30-year-old.

The two London clubs are believed to be fighting it out for Still’s signature this summer, with Paratici believed to have already met the Reims coach out in Switzerland.

So the fact that the Italian has left his post at Spurs should be great news for West Ham…

Door opens for West Ham to appoint Will Still after Tottenham resignation

Paratici leaving Spurs may well give the Hammers a leg up in the pursuit of the talented young manager.

Still led Reims to an unbelievable 18-game unbeaten Ligue 1 run. Unfortunately for him though, that run was ended by Marseille last month.

The Belgian-born manager is a West Ham fan and he really does seem like the ideal appointment for us.

Still is incredibly intense with his approach to training sessions and that translates out onto the pitch.

The 30-year-old likes to implement a 4-2-3-1 system. He is very flexible and likes his team to build up from the back although he’s not averse to playing a counter attacking style either.

Still’s exploits with Reims have been described as ‘unbelievable’ by the Mirror.

Let’s hope that West Ham manage to beat Tottenham to the signature of Will Still this summer.

The resignation of Fabio Paratici from Tottenham should help us do just that.
