Tottenham Chairman Levy Exits After 24 Years, Kane Praises Legacy

Harry Kane expressed surprise at Daniel Levy's unexpected departure as Tottenham Hotspur's executive chairman after nearly 25 years, praising Levy's transformative impact on the club both on and off the pitch. Under Levy's leadership, Spurs evolved into a globally recognized club with significant investments in facilities such as a new stadium and training center, and competitive success including a Europa League trophy. Kane, who left Spurs for Bayern Munich in 2023, acknowledged the complexities of his relationship with Levy, including past transfer difficulties, but maintained respect for Levy's tenure and wished him well. Kane highlighted the club's current transition as a "new chapter" with a modernized leadership structure involving CEO Vinai Venkatesham and non-executive chairman Peter Charrington. Despite speculation about ownership changes, the club's majority shareholder confirmed that Spurs are not for sale, with the executive team assuring continuity. Kane also addressed criticisms from former player Michael Owen about his move to Bayern, emphasizing his desire to compete at the highest level and his satisfaction with his career decisions.
