Overview

  • Levy described sacking Ange Postecoglou as “emotionally difficult” but insisted the collective board decision was necessary after Spurs’ 17th-place finish in the Premier League.
  • Despite winning the Europa League, the chairman argued that securing one trophy fell short of Tottenham’s objectives to claim top domestic honours.
  • CEO Vinai Venkatesham revealed that more than 30 candidates were assessed against a ten-point profile before Thomas Frank emerged as the unanimous first choice.
  • Levy praised Frank as a highly intelligent communicator and an outstanding developer of young players suited to lead Tottenham’s next phase.
  • The club plans to reinvest non-football revenue into the squad as Frank prepares Tottenham to pursue Premier League and Champions League success.
