Scott Munn, who left Tottenham in the summer after less than two years as the club's chief football officer, is reportedly finalising a deal to join Serie A side Parma. His departure from north London came amid a major boardroom overhaul that saw even the chairman Daniel Levy and star manager Ange Postecoglou also exit the club.

Munn was placed on gardening leave by Spurs in June, bringing an end to a tenure of less than two years in north London. His departure came as part of a summer of significant change at Tottenham, which saw the sacking of his key ally, manager Postecoglou. Munn's exit also coincided with a major boardroom shake-up that included the departures of long-serving chairman Levy and executive director Donna-Maria Cullen, as a new chief executive officer, Vinai Venkatesham, arrived.
Spurs endured a dismal domestic 2024-25 campaign despite their Europa League success. Injury issues were a constant source of frustration for then-coach Postecoglou. It was claimed that the fitness issues flared up after long-serving head of medicine Geoff Scott was forced out, a decision that followed a review that Munn had been at the head of. In April, it was reported that he would be leaving the club, even before Postecoglou's sacking.
The original vision for Munn at Tottenham
Munn joined Tottenham from the City Football Group in 2023 to fill the newly-created role of chief football officer, designed to oversee all of the club's footballing activities. Upon his appointment, then-chairman Levy said: "Scott has a unique and broad experience of running sporting organisations at the highest level and will take responsibility for the leadership and management of our football activities to instil best practice both on and off the pitch."

An official announcement from Parma is expected in the coming weeks. Munn will be tasked by president Kyle Krause with strengthening the club's organisational structure as they look to consolidate their position back in Italy's top flight.
