Donna Cullen, who has been working with Chairman Daniel Levy for a long time, suddenly announced that she would leave Tottenham.

Cullen's resignation is drawing more extraordinary attention as it comes amid uncertainty surrounding the future of director Enze Postecoglou. Britain's 'The Sun' reported on the 2nd (Korea time) that a major reorganization began in the summer when Levi's right arm left Tottenham, and Postecoglou's future became uncertain.

Executive Director Cullen has been a member of Tottenham's board for about 20 years. He had a lot of confidence from chairman Levi. He said he had decided to leave the club to spend more time with his family after Tottenham escaped their first 'trophy drought in 17 years by winning the Europa League.




Executive Director Cullen said, `It was a really tough decision. Clubs have been my life for the last 30 years. I had the honor of working with Chairman Levi, who had the vision and energy to develop the club, and I was able to work with many talented and great colleagues"I told him how I felt.

And it's been a really long journey, starting at White Hart Lane, then staying for a while at Wembley and finally living in a new home stadium. There are many amazing memories in both the home and away stadiums." It was like a dream come true to finish this season with the Europa League trophy. It's time to have more time for me and my family. I would like to thank those who have supported me over the years."

Executive Director Cullen also said "We will do our best to ensure a smooth transition of our employees in the coming months. Thank you all. I wish every member of the club the greatest success in the world," he added.




Chairman Levi also expressed his position. "Cullen has made a huge contribution to the club for a long time," he said. Her various responsibilities have grown significantly, and it will be impossible to replace her with someone who has played her part. I will miss her daily advice greatly. But she deserves enough time for herself, and I'm sure she'll be able to seek her advice when she needs it. I wish her all the best in the future."

But it is a sign of change. Tottenham kissed the trophy for the first time in 17 years since reaching the top of the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. In the case of the European match, it was the first joy in 41 years since winning the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League in the 1983-1984 season.

Postecoglou took the helm of Tottenham on July 1, 2023. A Greek-born Australian national, he has always been at the top of every team he commands in his second year. At Tottenham, 'feel good jinx' was valid. Postecoglou presented Tottenham's long-cherished trophy for the first time in 17 years.




However, Postecoglou's future is in the fog. He is under contract with Tottenham until June next year. It also has a one-year extension option, but the local atmosphere is that it is likely to be replaced within a few days.

Tottenham are currently negotiating with other managers. Brentford manager Thomas Frank and Fulham manager Marco Silva are being discussed as the replacement for Postecoglou.

Postecoglou, who is on vacation with his family, dismissed the 'dismissal theory'. In an interview with ABC's 'Australian Story', he said "I didn't want to just enjoy the winning moment. I wanted to make you think about what to do next. You should not be complacent now. Now I've got a taste of winning. Then we need to make sure that we come back here again," he stressed.

Postecoglou continued "When we wrote the first Australian story 10 years ago, you probably thought it was the pinnacle of what I was trying to achieve. Ten years later, I have no doubt that there will be more stories to come if we sit down again."

Postecoglou led the Australian national team to the Asian Cup in 2015.
