Former tottenham hotspur

Former Tottenham Hotspur: Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his surprise at the departure of Daniel Levy, who stepped down as executive chairman after nearly a quarter of a century in charge of the North London club.

Levy had long been a polarising figure among fans - respected for his financial discipline and business acumen, yet often criticised for his reluctance to spend big on wages to attract marquee signings capable of ending Spurs' title drought, which dates back to 1961.

Despite the criticism, Levy's legacy is significant. He spearheaded the transformation of Tottenham's infrastructure, overseeing the construction of a world-class stadium and training facility that have elevated the club’s global stature.
