His tenure since March 2001 has marked both important strides and controversies surrounding the team's professional activities.
Under Levy's management, Tottenham has become one of the leading football brands globally, with modern facilities, including European-standard stadiums and training centers. However, in terms of performance on the pitch, the club has only won two major titles, the 2008 League Cup and the 2025 Europa League.
In the farewell, Levy expressed his pride in building the club into a global force and a strong fan community, and expressed his gratitude to the players, coaches and fans who have accompanied him throughout his time in charge. He also admitted the pressure from professional results: "I want to win, and when the club doesn't play well, doesn't win, I'm in pain like the fans".
Tottenham stressed that the club has made significant progress under Levy, having played in European competitions in 18 of their last 20 seasons, investing heavily in academies, squads and facilities, and winning the Europa League last season. The current senior personnel system includes Vinai Venkatesham CEO, head men's coach Thomas Frank, women's head coach Martin Ho, and new President Peter Charrington.
Charrington - a director of the ENIC-owned corporation, joined the board of directors in March and was appointed to replace Levy as non-e overt Chairman. He is committed to continuing to develop the club stably, while giving more power to the executive team led by Venkatesham.
Tottenham insists the inheritance process has been carefully prepared for many months, while the ownership structure remains unchanged as ENIC holds 86.58% of Tottenham's shares, of which Levy owns 29.88% of ENIC.
