Tottenham have announced the shock departure of Daniel Levy, who has stepped down as chairman after nearly a quarter of a century in charge.
The 62-year-old oversaw the club’s transformation into Champions League regulars and delivered their £1billion stadium.
Vinai Venkatesham will lead Spurs as CEO, with Thomas Frank in charge of the men’s team, while Peter Charrington steps in as non-executive chairman.
In a statement, Levy said: ‘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.’
He added: ‘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.’
