Kane surprised by the departure of Levy, but praises the inheritance of the former chairman at Spurs

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane was surprised by the decision of Daniel Levy to resign as executive chairman after almost 25 years at the club, but said that the impact of the Englishman at the club had been transforming.

Although he could not end Spurs’ waiting for a first English top-flight title since 1961, Levy leaves a legacy with a new stadium and state-of-the-art training ground and a first major trophy since 2008 after their Europa League triumph last season.

«I didn’t expect it, didn’t see that coming,» Kane told the British media for the world cup qualification of the English in Serbia on Tuesday.

“Daniel has been a fantastic chairman for Tottenham in the 20 years or so he has been there.

«Consider where the club was and where it is now, I think it has been a big change, not only on the field, but also outside the field,» added Kane, who came to Bayern Munich in August 2023.

«In general for Tottenham, it’s a new chapter that they are trying to make now.»

Speculation about a possible change of ownership has increased since the levy, although the majority shareholder of the club has said that traces are not for sale.

While Spurs Chief Executive Vinai Venkatesham described Levy’s contribution as ‘Extraordinary’, he trivialized the potential for unrest after his departure.

«The club is well organized for follow -up, so we have a very strong executive team in place and, although it is perhaps a somewhat strange thing to say to the external world, although it is big news, in the club, it is really things as usual,» he told the club’s website on Monday.
