Rebecca Caplehorn, Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s head of administration and football governance, will join the Premier League as its chief football officer after she leaves the club at the end of the transfer window.<\/p>\n

The Athletic reported<\/a> in October that Caplehorn would be leaving the club at the end of the winter transfer window. Sources close to the club, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to do so publicly, said that Caplehorn\u2019s departure was her own decision.<\/p>\n

A start date for Caplehorn, who replaces the outgoing Tony Scholes, has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Caplehorn spent five years with fellow London side Queens Park Rangers before joining Tottenham in 2015. She was promoted to her existing role in 2020 after former executive chairman Daniel Levy carried out a reshuffle of the club\u2019s senior management positions.<\/p>\n

Her remit has included all football governance at the club, representing Spurs with the European Football Clubs (previously the European Club Association) and being involved in transfer and contract negotiations.<\/p>\n

Fabio Paratici, one of Tottenham\u2019s co-sporting director alongside Johan Lange, will also leave the club at the end of the window, returning to Italy with Fiorentina. Spurs also recently announced that City Football Group\u2019s (CFG) Carlos Raphael Moersen has been appointed<\/a> to the newly-created role of director of football operations and is due to begin in the position prior to the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Egerton – PA Images Rebecca Caplehorn, Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s head of administration and football governance, will join the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,1614,85,10988],"class_list":{"0":"post-423614","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-premier-league","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-tottenham-hotspur"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
