Tottenham Confirms Post-Levy Setup With Venkatesham Leading as Owners Reject Takeover Bids

Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham signals continuity through a planned succession with firm, long-term backing from the Lewis family.

Overview

  • Daniel Levy stepped down on Thursday after nearly 25 years, ending a tenure defined by major off‑field growth and a recent Europa League win.
  • Vinai Venkatesham now runs day-to-day operations, while Peter Charrington steps into a non-executive chairman role focused on high-level oversight.
  • The board says the club is not for sale after rejecting preliminary approaches from PCP International Finance and a Firehawk-led consortium.
  • Venkatesham describes the transition as business as usual, citing owner support for investment balanced by Financial Fair Play requirements and revenue growth.
  • Harry Kane called the departure a surprise and praised Levy’s transformational impact, as reports note Levy remains a minority shareholder.
