Daniel Levy has stepped down from his role as Executive Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur after nearly 25 years. The club officially announced his departure on September 4, 2025, marking the end of a significant era for the North London side.
Levy, who was appointed chairman in March 2001, leaves behind a legacy of transforming Tottenham Hotspur into a global footballing brand. During his tenure, the club consistently invested in its academy, players, and facilities, most notably with the construction of a new, world-class stadium and state-of-the-art training center. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a £1.2 billion facility that opened in 2019, is considered one of the finest in the world and has boosted the club's commercial revenue and positioned it as a venue for major events. Levy considered the stadium a "symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map".
Under Levy's leadership, Tottenham Hotspur has been a regular participant in European competitions, playing in the last 18 of 20 seasons. The club also recently won the Europa League, its first major trophy since 2008.
In a statement released by the club, Levy expressed his pride in his work with the executive team and employees, stating that they had built the club into a global heavyweight. He also thanked the fans for their support throughout the years and said he would continue to support the club passionately.
The announcement comes after a period of significant change within the club. Vinai Venkatesham was recently hired as Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Frank was appointed as the new men's head coach, and Martin Ho was appointed as the women's head coach. Peter Charrington has joined the board and will assume the newly created role of Non-Executive Chairman. Charrington acknowledged the recent changes and affirmed the club's focus on stability and empowering its talented staff.
There will be no changes to the ownership or shareholder structure of the club.
