Spurs take Moersen from City Football Group as director of football operations

Tottenham have appointed Carlos Raphael Moersen as their first director of football operations, taking him from City Football Group, which oversees a stable of clubs that includes Manchester City.

Moersen, known as Rafi, will not join until before the summer transfer window because he is on gardening leave. He has spent more than a decade at CFG, serving most recently as director of football transactions.

Tottenham said Moersen would lead the club’s football administration, player care and training-ground operations, and that a major part of his job would involve overseeing the women’s setup.

The sporting director Johan Lange, said: “He was the outstanding candidate from a highly competitive process and brings a wealth of experience in this critical area of our football operation.”
