Munn also confirmed that Lange’s main focus will be on recruitment, stating: “Johan has demonstrated an excellent track record of scouting and signing many talented and successful youth and senior players. He is a welcome addition as we strengthen our football operations.”
In the meantime, Paratici has continued to work in a consultancy capacity. The Athletic says he is well thought of by Levy and his influence on signings such as Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie means he could still have a role.
All that points to the expectation that Levy will take a step back from football matters. He appears to have struck gold with the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as head coach and now he will be hoping he can sit back and watch from afar as Munn, Lange and co flourish in their new roles.
