Daniel Levy has departed Tottenham Hotspur after 24 years as Executive Chairman at the club.
Levy was first appointed to Spurs’ board in December 2000 but promoted to chairman in February 2001 upon completion of a takeover and has since overseen 2007-08 League Cup and 2024-25 UEFA Europa League title successes amidst numerous managerial appointments.
The club also underwent a change of stadium under Levy’s reign as White Hart Lane was demolished and replaced by their current home, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham however has decided to refreshen their behind-the-scenes staffing amidst a double managerial change this summer for men and women’s first-team squads, with Levy having now stepped down with immediate effect.
“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 that 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.”
Tottenham have appointed Peter Charrington as Levy’s replacement under the new title of Non-Executive Chairman, and he has spoken of his pride at his new role.
“I am very honoured to become Non-Executive Chairman of this extraordinary Club and, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Daniel and his family for their commitment and loyalty to the Club over so many years.
“This is a new era of leadership for the club, on and off the pitch. I do recognise there has been a lot of change in recent months as we put in place new foundations for the future.
“We are now fully focused on stability and empowering our talented people across the Club, led by Vinai and his executive team.”
