Daniel Levy leaves Tottenham: what the longest-serving Premier League chairman leaves behind.
The End of Daniel Levy's Era at Tottenham
According to The Sun: What achievements has Daniel Levy brought to 'Tottenham Hotspur'? He built one of the best football stadiums in the world, created a world-class training facility, ensured regular participation in the Champions League, and even took the club to the European Cup final. This year, the team triumphed in the Europa League.

Levy chaired 'Tottenham' for 25 years — the longest term among Premier League club chairs. During this time, he became the target of criticism and protests from fans, although his annual salary of £3.7 million likely softened the negativity.
Now, with one of the league's biggest antagonists leaving the club, supporters can roll up their protest banners against Levy. Although he is a local and a genuine fan of the club, most fans did not hide their disdain for him.
Throughout his tenure, the club changed 15 permanent managers, and several times returned to Ryan Mason. And in 17 years, 'Tottenham' has won no trophies except for two — the League Cup in 2008 and the Europa League this year.
Leadership Change
Levy did not shy away from making unpopular decisions. His departure may open the way for changes in leadership — American and Qatari investors have long been interested in the club.
He will hand over control to new CEO Vinai Venkatesham, who joined the club in April. In summary, it can be said that Levy's positive outcomes did outweigh the negatives, despite all the challenges he faced throughout his long career.
“When I'm not here, I'm sure people will begin to give me my due credit,” Levy said in his summer interview with Gary Neville.
Daniel Levy's departure marks an important milestone in the history of 'Tottenham'. His long-term leadership has left a mixed legacy in the club's history — on one hand, a period of development and the introduction of new standards, on the other hand, a time marked by criticism for a lack of trophies. Against the backdrop of potential changes in ownership and management, fans eagerly await a new era in the club's life.
