Ex-coach Pochettino expresses surprise over Levy's exit from Spurs
Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy Steps Down After Nearly 25 Years
In a surprising turn of events, Daniel Levy, the long-standing Executive Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, has announced his departure from the Premier League club after nearly 25 years. Levy's tenure began in February 2001, when ENIC acquired a majority stake in the club, and he leaves behind a legacy that has seen the club transform significantly.
During Levy's leadership, Tottenham Hotspur achieved their first major trophy since 2008 by beating Manchester United to win last season's Europa League. This victory marked a high point in Levy's tenure, which also included qualifying for the Champions League for the seventh time.
Mauricio Pochettino, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager, has expressed his shock over Levy's decision to step down. Pochettino, who was in charge of Tottenham Hotspur from 2014 to 2019, guided the team to the Champions League runners-up position in 2019 and led them to their first Champions League appearance.
Under Pochettino's management, Tottenham Hotspur became perennial top-four Premier League contenders. Pochettino and Levy's relationship was significant during this period, with Levy's tough negotiating style often aiding in securing key signings for the team.
Pochettino has not received a response from Levy regarding a text he sent expressing well wishes. The Argentine manager, who is currently the United States manager, has also expressed his shock over the news.
The successor to Daniel Levy as Executive Chairman is Peter Charrington, who has assumed a newly created position of Non-Executive Chairman, while Vinai Venkatesham takes on the CEO role.
Despite the departure of Levy, fans can look forward to the continued development of the club, with the new stadium and state-of-the-art training ground already in place. However, Levy's departure has not gone unnoticed, with some fans blaming him for failing to pay wages that would deliver players capable of delivering Spurs' first English top-flight title since 1961.
As Levy steps down, he leaves behind a complex legacy. His tough negotiating style has been both praised and criticised, but there is no denying the impact he has had on Tottenham Hotspur. His departure marks the end of an era, and the club will undoubtedly look to build on the foundations he has laid in the years to come.
