Franco Baldini has left the building
Franco has Baldini, it was announced earlier this year, would be leaving Tottenham Hotspur after the Summer Transfer Window had shut and he did arguably his best work during that window.
He was tasked with selling players and we have traditionally struggled, indeed failed to get rid of deadwood. His record this summer in that sense is exceptional compared with what went before. Roberto Soldado, Paulinho, Etienne Capoue, Benjamin Stambouli, Vlad Chiriches, Aaron Lennon, Younes Kaboul all departed, the sale of Lewis Holtby was written into his loan agreement the summer before.
"Franco joined us as Technical Director in June 2013 from AS Roma where he was General Director. He leaves us now to spend time outside of club football.
"We wish him all the best for the future."
That is the entirety of te club statement, it doesn't say a lot about his performance during his time at the club, but then he is an off the field figure so they rarely do.
