In a significant development, Daniel Levy, the executive chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, has stepped down from his role after almost 25 years at the helm of the club. Levy, 63, was appointed in March 2001 and departs after the club’s triumphant win in the Europa League in May, ending a 17-year trophy drought.
During his tenure, Levy oversaw Tottenham’s transformation into a global football powerhouse, competing at the highest level. Despite facing criticism and protests from fans, particularly last season, Levy expressed pride in his achievements. “I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees,” he said.
Levy’s legacy at Tottenham is marked by significant progress, both on and off the pitch. He worked with numerous talented players and managers, building a community around the club. “We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level. More than that, we have built a community,” he added.
As he steps down, Levy thanked the fans for their support, acknowledging that the journey hasn’t always been easy. “I wish to thank all the fans that have supported me over the years… I will continue to support this club passionately.” Levy’s departure marks the end of an era for Tottenham, and the club’s future will be shaped by the changes ahead.
