Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Daniel Levy has stepped down as Executive Chairman after almost a quarter of a century in charge.
Daniel Levy, who took over in 2001, leaves his role as the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League.
Under his leadership, Spurs have been transformed from a mid-table side into a global powerhouse, boasting regular Champions League campaigns, a state-of-the-art training ground, and one of the most advanced stadiums in world football.
Reflecting on his tenure, Levy said: “I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees. We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level. More than that, we have built a community. I was lucky enough to work with some of the greatest people in this sport, from the team at Lilywhite House and Hotspur Way to all the players and managers over the years.
“I wish to thank all the fans who have supported me over the years. It hasn’t always been an easy journey but significant progress has been made. I will continue to support this club passionately.”
Levy’s reign saw Spurs qualify for European competitions in 18 of the last 20 seasons, including a Champions League final appearance in 2019, and most recently, a Europa League triumph.
Off the pitch, his ambitious vision reshaped the club’s infrastructure, ensuring Tottenham could compete both financially and commercially with Europe’s elite.
The announcement comes amid sweeping changes at the North London club.
In recent months, Spurs have appointed Vinai Venkatesham as Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Frank as men’s head coach, and Martin Ho to lead the women’s team. Peter Charrington has also joined the board and will take up the new role of Non-Executive Chairman.
While Levy is stepping back from the chairman’s seat, Spurs confirmed there are no changes to the club’s ownership or shareholder structure.
