Tottenham has officially announced that chairman Daniel Levy is leaving after almost 25 years of leading the club.
In their statement, the team pointed out that the goal “to achieve long-term sporting success” was a major factor in this choice.
Levy’s departure marks the latest – and definitely the most significant – change at the board level at Spurs, signaling the end of one era and the start of another with new management.
In March, Peter Charrington was appointed as the non-executive chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, marking a significant change in the club’s leadership dynamics. Charrington, a director at ENIC and former chief executive of Citi Private Bank, stepped into this newly established role, which is anticipated to influence the club’s power structure.
In April, Tottenham hired Vinai Venkatesham, a former Arsenal director, as their new chief executive. This change coincided with the exit of executive director Donna Cullen, who had been part of the club for almost twenty years and had worked closely with Daniel Levy.
I want to express my gratitude to all the fans who have stood by me throughout the years. The journey hasn’t always been smooth, but we have made remarkable progress.
Daniel Levy, recognized as the longest-serving chairman in Premier League history, has now resigned from his role, passing the daily operations of the club to Venkatesham. In his statement, Levy shared his pride in the achievements made with the executive team and staff, highlighting the club’s growth into a global football giant and its dedication to fostering a strong community. He also reflected on the relationships built over the years with various people connected to the club, including players, managers, and staff at their facilities.
I want to express my gratitude to all the fans who have stood by me throughout the years. The journey hasn’t always been smooth, but we have made considerable strides. I will continue to support this club with all my heart.
During I Levy’s tenure, he encountered protests from fans, particularly after the home loss to Bournemouth last weekend. The dissatisfaction among supporters has mainly stemmed from the lack of trophies won under Levy’s guidance. Before the recent Europa League triumph in May, the sole trophy acquired during his leadership was the 2008 League Cup.
