Tottenham Hotspur have announced the departure of Executive Chairman Daniel Levy after nearly 25 years in charge.
The club confirmed the news without giving a specific reason, though it follows a turbulent season that saw Spurs finish 17th in the Premier League and part ways with ex-manager Ange Postecoglou.
Levy, who took over in 2001, oversaw sweeping changes that turned Tottenham into a global football brand. His leadership delivered world-class infrastructure, including the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a state-of-the-art training centre.
He also ensured consistent European football, with Spurs appearing in continental competitions for 18 of the last 20 seasons.
Despite these achievements, Levy’s reign was often divisive. Supporters praised his business expertise but grew increasingly frustrated by the club’s limited trophy haul.
Under his stewardship, Tottenham became admired for stability and vision off the pitch but remained unable to consistently deliver success on it. This contrast defined his legacy and often fueled fan discontent.

Tottenham begins a new era after Levy exit
In his farewell remarks, Levy expressed gratitude to supporters and pride in Spurs’ transformation. He pointed to the club’s Europa League victory and strong global recognition as evidence of progress.
“Tottenham Hotspur has been transformed over the last quarter of a century,” he reflected, crediting both staff and fans for their part in the journey.
The club has already laid the groundwork for succession. Vinai Venkatesham has joined as CEO, Thomas Frank has been appointed head coach of the men’s team, and Martin Ho now leads the women’s side.
In addition, Peter Charrington has stepped in as Non-Executive Chairman. This signals a structural reset designed to deliver what the board calls “long-term sporting success.”
For many fans, Levy’s departure represents both the end of an era and the possibility of a new beginning. Tottenham now faces the challenge of aligning its impressive off-field growth with consistent achievements on the pitch. After years of near misses and disappointment, supporters will be eager to see if this leadership reset finally brings the trophies they crave.
Levy leaves behind a club financially secure and globally admired but still searching for a footballing identity that matches its modern stature. The coming seasons will reveal whether Spurs can turn this moment of transition into a genuine turning point.
