Daniel Levy has resigned as Tottenham president, and the club announced Thursday, ending a nearly 25-year tenure of a divisive figure known for maintaining profitability in Premier League teams, but has failed to turn it into a trophy-winning force.
Levy, 63, the longest serving member of the Premier League, said he left his role at Tottenham “global heavyweights competing at the highest level.”

“It wasn’t always an easy journey,” Levy said.
Levy’s departure comes months after Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 to win the Europa League finals after a 17-year trophy drought. It was the Spurs’ first major title since winning the English League Cup in 2008 and it was their first European victory since winning the UEFA Cup, the UEFA Cup, in 1984.
Known as a fierce, uncompromising negotiator in the transfer market, Levy has been accused by many Tottenham fans of chasing profits over silverware for not fully supporting some of the most well-known managers in football he employs in recent years, including Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
There were protests against last season’s tenure when Tottenham came first in the Premier League (1st in the bottom three or more floors), despite the club being the so-called “Big Six” in British football and owning one of the best stadiums in World Football.
Levy oversaw the move from White Hartrain to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, his first home since 2019, and is now the venue for concerts and other sporting events such as boxing and the NFL.
Tottenham said there was “no change in the club’s ownership or shareholder structure” in light of Levy’s departure, which is reportedly owning about 30% of the club’s majority owner, Enic.
Peter Charlington became non-executive president, and he thanked Levy and his family for his “long-standing commitment and loyalty to the club.”
