Tottenham Hotspur technical director Franco Baldini has left the club by mutual consent.
Baldini joined Spurs from Roma in June 2013 but has left the club to spend time outside of club football.
After joining the club, Baldini helped bring players such as Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen to White Hart Lane.
Spurs appointed Paul Mitchell as the club's head of recruitment last November and it is believed this has played a role in Baldini's departure.
