Son Heung-min (LAFC) was also in Tottenham 'The Age of Glory'.
Tottenham officially announced on the 5th (Korean time) that Chairman Daniel Levy, who has served for 25 years, will resign. "I am really proud of the achievements we have made with the management and all of our staff," Levy said through the club. We have developed this club into a world-class powerhouse that competes at the highest level. Furthermore, we created a community. I've had the good fortune to work with the best people through football over the years. I sincerely thank all the fans for supporting me. It hasn't always been a smooth journey, but it has made significant progress. I will continue to support Tottenham passionately in the future."
Levy became chairman of Tottenham in March 2001. He has been the longest-serving chairman of the English Premier League (EPL). Tottenham, which was a mid-level EPL team at the time of his appointment, has since grown into a club representing the league. During his tenure, Tottenham made more than £50m in revenue. In 2019, it also managed to relocate its home stadium from White Hart Lane to the state-of-the-art Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where it invested £1 billion. However, he has also been criticized for focusing only on commercial use of the club rather than strengthening the team's competitiveness. Tottenham reached the top of the Europa League (UEL) last season, 17 years after winning the 2008 League Cup.
