Tottenham players are complaining about senior club staff showing passion in the dug-out during games.
Fabio Paratici, Spurs' managing director of football, and Steve Hitchen, technical performance director, have had seats on the bench for both home Premier League fixtures this season.
And although Tottenham are on a high — top of the league with three wins from three — some players are said to be uncomfortable with the presence and behaviour of Paratici and Hitchen.
A source told The Sun: “It just doesn't sit right with the players.
"The substitutes on the bench don't feel they are able to speak freely among themselves with those guys sitting next to them.
“The players as a whole don't like it when the two of them are on their feet shouting at the match officials or the team."
