Daniel Levy Steps Down As Tottenham’s Executive Chairman After 25 Years

Tottenham Hotspur announced a major leadership change on Thursday, as Daniel Levy departed his role as Executive Chairman after 24 years at the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Spurs released a statement confirming Daniel Levy has “stepped down” as Executive Chairman. Levy, who took charge in 2001, leaves just three games into the new Premier League season. His exit comes after a summer of major changes at the club, including the arrival of Thomas Frank as new head coach and Vinai Venkatesham as chief executive. Levy said he was “proud” of turning Tottenham into a globally recognized club with major investment in its stadium, training center, and academy. The club highlighted key achievements under Levy’s tenure, such as playing in European competition for 18 of the last 20 years, and last season’s Europa League victory, Tottenham’s first major trophy in 17 years.

THE IMPACT AT TOTTENHAM THIS SEASON

Tottenham started the 2025/26 Premier League season with two wins and only one defeat from their opening three matches under Thomas Frank, collecting six out of nine points. The club sit third in the table after last weekend’s narrow 1-0 loss at home to Bournemouth. The stability at the top was already shifting, with major changes in coaching leadership after Ange Postecoglou’s departure despite winning the Europa League trophy in May. The club reassured fans there are no changes in ownership or shareholders, but after almost a quarter-century of Levy rule, decisions off the pitch will face scrutiny in the coming months. In a move to strengthen their attack, Tottenham have secured Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, which adds depth to the squad as they enhance their capabilities for the current season according to reports.

WHAT NEXT FOR TOTTENHAM?

The team will face West Ham next in the Premier League as Tottenham aim to end a two-match losing run. New CEO Vinai Venkatesham is tasked with steering the club through this critical transition, while Thomas Frank hopes to build on early momentum. Fans will be watching the board’s next moves closely, particularly relating to future investment and squad development as the season progresses. Tottenham is actively looking to further bolster their attack as well, especially with their aspirations for Champions League qualification in mind as confirmed by reports.
