Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed the resignation of Daniel Levy, the Premier League’s longest-serving chairman, after almost 25 years at the helm.

Levy, who took charge of the North London club in 2001, is credited with transforming Spurs into a global football powerhouse. His leadership saw the construction of one of the world’s most advanced stadiums and the end of the club’s 17-year trophy drought.

In his farewell statement, Levy said: “I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees. We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level. More than that, we have built a community.

“I was lucky enough to work with some of the greatest people in this sport, from the team at Lilywhite House and Hotspur Way to all the players and managers over the years. I wish to thank all the fans that have supported me over the years. It hasn’t always been an easy journey but significant progress has been made. I will continue to support this club passionately.”

Tottenham Hotspur officially confirmed his departure, marking the end of a defining era in the club’s history.
