End of an Era: Daniel Levy Steps Down After 25 Years at Tottenham Hotspur
By Obinna Amajuoyi Premier Football Journal September 5, 2025
In a landmark moment for English football, Tottenham Hotspur has announced the departure of Daniel Levy from his role as Executive Chairman, marking the end of a transformative 25-year tenure. Levy, who took the reins in 2001, leaves behind a legacy of ambition, infrastructure, and global recognition.
🏟️ From North London Roots to Global Prestige
Under Levy’s stewardship, Spurs evolved from a traditional English club into a modern football powerhouse. The club has featured in European competitions in 18 of the last 20 seasons, built a £1.2 billion world-class stadium, and developed a state-of-the-art training centre at Hotspur Way. These investments have not only elevated the club’s competitive edge but also positioned it as a venue for international events, concerts, and NFL fixtures.
The crowning achievement of Levy’s final season was Tottenham’s Europa League triumph, ending a 17-year trophy drought and reaffirming the club’s place among Europe’s elite.
🧠 Strategic Succession: A New Chapter Begins
Tottenham’s leadership transition is already underway. In recent months, the club has appointed:
- Vinai Venkatesham as Chief Executive Officer
- Thomas Frank as Men’s Head Coach
- Martin Ho as Women’s Head Coach
- Peter Charrington as Non-Executive Chairman
Charrington, a seasoned financier, steps into a newly created role designed to ensure governance and strategic oversight. “This is a new era of leadership for the club, on and off the pitch,” he said. “We are now fully focused on stability and empowering our talented people across the Club, led by Vinai and his executive team.”
A Farewell with Gratitude

In his farewell statement, Levy reflected on the journey:
“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… I will continue to support this club passionately.”
Despite facing criticism from fans over managerial decisions and transfer strategies, Levy’s impact on Tottenham’s financial stability and global brand is undeniable. His tenure saw the club reach the Champions League final in 2019, and maintain its status among the Premier League’s “Big Six.”
🔒 Ownership Remains Unchanged
Tottenham confirmed that there are no changes to the ownership or shareholder structure, with ENIC Group retaining its majority stake. Levy’s departure is a leadership transition—not a change in control.
