• Daniel Levy has stepped down as Tottenham's chairman after 25 years.
• His tenure saw Tottenham win only two major trophies, including the recent Europa League.

• He was known for a controversial management style, with numerous managerial changes.
• Peter Charrington has been appointed as his successor in a newly created role.

Tottenham Hotspur announced the resignation of Daniel Levy as executive chairman, marking the end of his nearly 25-year tenure characterized by significant achievements and controversies alike. Levy, who has been a pivotal figure in transforming Tottenham into a "global heavyweight competing at the highest level," stated, "It hasn’t always been an easy journey, but significant progress has been made" according to BBC and Al Jazeera.

During his lengthy reign, Levy was instrumental in overseeing the development of a state-of-the-art £1.2 billion stadium and the Hotspur Way training complex. However, many fans criticized his focus on financial success over on-pitch achievements, resulting in numerous protests throughout his time at the club. The highest-profile grievance arose last season when Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League, leading to mounting pressure on Levy, despite the club later winning the Europa League, their first major trophy in 17 years, according to BBC and Dawn.

Critics pointed to Levy's management style as divisive, as he oversaw the sacking of 12 managers, including high-profile names like José Mourinho and Antonio Conte during turbulent seasons. Although Levy was recognized for his business acumen, earning Spurs the title of "most profitable club in Premier League history," the lack of silverware often overshadowed these successes. For many supporters, banners that read, "24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy – time for change" encapsulated the frustrations felt throughout his tenure, as reported by Al Jazeera and BBC.

Levy's departure will bring Peter Charrington into the newly created position of Non-Executive Chairman, a change that many fans have welcomed. Charrington acknowledged Levy’s contributions, stating, "This is a new era of leadership for the club," as Tottenham aims for stability and a renewed emphasis on empowering its executive team, according to BBC and Dawn.
