In a landmark moment for Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy has stepped down from his role as Executive Chairman after nearly 25 years at the helm—the longest-serving league chair in modern Premier League history BILD+14The Guardian+14Sky Sports+14.
Since taking over in 2001 following ENIC’s majority takeover, Levy transformed Spurs both on and off the field. Under his leadership, the club rose into Europe’s elite, enjoyed financial booms—including consistently ranking among the world’s richest clubs—and unveiled a state‑of‑the‑art stadium and training ground Reuters.
Most memorably, the club ended a 17-year trophy drought under his tenure, clinching the 2024–25 Europa League title—a triumph that, however, came amid a difficult season where Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League and prompted the surprising sacking of manager Ange Postecoglou BILD+8The Guardian+8Reuters+8.
Levy acknowledged the criticisms levied against him, especially around on-pitch inconsistency and managerial changes—he installed an astonishing 13 or 14 permanent managers during his reign—but he also expressed pride in building the club into a global powerhouse and thanked supporters and staff for their journey together The Guardian+2TalkSport+2.
