Son Heung-min was asked about Levy's retirement after winning a friendly match against the U.S. as South Korea's national team captain on the same day. Son Heung-min claimed that Levy has made an incredible achievement for Tottenham for 25 years. He also confessed that he was grateful for everything Levy did in the 10 years he spent at Tottenham.
Son Heung-min "I don't think it's appropriate to talk about the chairman's retirement here. I spent 10 years there"He thinks I should be treated more than words can be said here."
He also said, `I think Chairman Levi has been there for 25 years, and he's done an incredible job"I hope everything goes well in the future. And thank you very, very much for everything you've done to me."
Levy was appointed chairman of Tottenham in March 2001. During his time in charge, he elevated Tottenham to a club competing for the EPL championship.
Tottenham earned more than 50 million pounds (about 93.6 billion won) under chairman Levy. In 2019, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was built by investing an astronomical amount of money.
In addition, he made tremendous achievements, including winning the UEFA Europa League in the 2024-2025 season, runner-up in the 2018-2019 UEFA Champions League (UCL), and runner-up in the 2016-2017 English Premier League (EPL) (2016-2017).
However, in recent years, the team's performance has been sluggish, and there have been loud voices that President Levi should be sent out. This is because the club is run for excessive commercial purposes. Last season Tottenham finished 17th in the league table.
