Daniel Levy has stepped down as the chairman of Tottenham with immediate effect. The 63-year-old was the longest serving chairman in the Premier League before his departure.
A statement on the club’s website read: “Tottenham Hotspur announces that Daniel Levy has today stepped down from his role as executive chairman after nearly 25 years.
“Tottenham Hotspur has been transformed over the last quarter of a century. It has played in European competitions in the last 18 of 20 seasons, becoming one of the world’s most recognised football clubs.”
Levy was quoted in the statement as saying: “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.”
