Daniel Levy has stepped down as executive chairman at Tottenham Hotspur after 25 years in the role.
In a statement, Levy said: "I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees.
"We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level. More than that, we have built a community. I was lucky enough to work with some of the greatest people in this sport, from the team at Lilywhite House and Hotspur Way to all the players and managers over the years.
"I wish to thank all the fans that have supported me over the years. It hasn't always been an easy journey but significant progress has been made. I will continue to support this club passionately."
The Lewis family, who are Spurs' majority shareholders, insist they are committed to the long-term future of the club and are not looking to sell their shares, although the rumour mill would suggest otherwise.
