Tottenham Hotspur, a member of the Premier League's big six, officially confirmed Levy's resignation as club chairman, marking the end of his 25 years with the club. He now steps down after achieving dual success in business and sporting aspects.
Levy’s achievements during his time in charge of Spurs include:
- Firstly:Spurs took part in European competitions in 18 of the last 20 seasons, ranking among the Premier League’s elite six clubs and gradually becoming a recognized football club across Europe.
- Secondly: Through careful budgeting, he invested £1 billion to build the new White Hart Lane stadium,This top-class British stadium immediately enhanced the matchday experience for Spurs and London fans alike, becoming a cherished landmark for supporters.
- Thirdly: Winning the Europa League title. Although Spurs had a poor Premier League season last year, they still secured the Europa League championship, ending a 17-year trophy drought and enabling them to compete in the Champions League this season. Spurs had previously reached the Champions League final in the 2018-19 season but finished as runners-up.
- Fourthly: Signing key players, Spurs spent over €200 million in this summer’s transfer window, bringing inKudus, Xavi Simons, Terand other strong reinforcements. Club legend Son Heung-min joined LAFC, and Spurs also appointed new head coach Flick from Brentford, balancing the team’s offense and defense better. This season, they aim for improved results.
In my opinion, Levy is a major contributor to Spurs’ rise. He transformed Spurs from a mid-table Premier League side into a near-elite "big six" club, built the new White Hart Lane stadium, and achieved success. Before stepping down, Spurs won the Europa League and invested €200 million to refresh the squad and coaching staff, which deserves praise.
