Daniel Levy Leaves Position as Chairman of Tottenham: What This Means for the Club

According to The Sun: Daniel Levy, who had long served as chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, has unexpectedly stepped down from his position.

However, his relationship with fans was strained due to the team's poor results and lack of trophies. Tottenham's last success came in 2008 when the club won the League Cup.

Under Mauricio Pochettino's management, the team gained popularity in the Champions League, reaching the final in 2019, where they lost to Liverpool.

Levy also oversaw the construction of a new state-of-the-art stadium valued at £1.2 billion, making Tottenham a financially powerful club.

However, following a poor start to the season under Ange Postecoglou, the club found itself at the bottom of the Premier League table.

Does Daniel Levy own Tottenham?

Tottenham is controlled by ENIC International Limited, which owns approximately 86.58% of the club's shares.

Levy and his family hold 29.4% of ENIC shares, which makes him a minority shareholder in the club; 70.6% is controlled by the Lewis family trust.

However, the club has announced that Daniel Levy has stepped down as executive chairman after nearly 25 years in this role.

This significant news, announced on Thursday evening, marks the end of a quarter-century of his leadership.

As of 2025, Tottenham's value is estimated to be around £2.42 billion, but owners have set a sale price of £3.75 billion.

The club is also the richest in London, generating revenue of £520 million (€615 million) in 2024.

What is Daniel Levy's worth?

The growth in Tottenham's value over the last decade has also reflected on Levy's wealth.

The 63-year-old businessman from Essex is estimated to be worth nearly £400 million.

What does this mean for Tottenham's ownership?

Tottenham has stated that no changes in ownership or shareholder structure are anticipated.

Daniel Levy stated: “I am extremely proud of the work I have done alongside the executive team and all our employees. We have built this club into a global force competing at the highest level. Moreover, we have created a community. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the best people in this sport, from the team at Lilywhite House and Spurs Way to all the players and coaches over the years. I want to thank all the fans who have supported me over the years. It has not always been an easy journey, but significant progress has been made. I will continue to passionately support this club.”
