Now, fresh details about the financial terms of his departure have put a figure on the end of that long association.<!-- --> The Athletic reported that Levy received a \u00a327 million payment when he left Tottenham; the sum included his salary, annual bonus and money due under a long-term incentive plan. Separately, figures reported by Roundtable Sports from Tottenham\u2019s Companies House records put his earnings during his time at the club at about \u00a361 million. Together, those figures amount to roughly \u00a388 million.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>What was behind the \u00a327 million payment?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The \u00a327 million was linked to the end of Levy\u2019s time as Tottenham\u2019s executive chairman. <!-- -->According to The Athletic, the payment covered money he was contractually entitled to receive, including salary, an annual bonus and sums due through the club\u2019s long-term incentive plan. The \u00a327 million relates to his departure, while the separate \u00a361 million figure covers remuneration accumulated during his time at the club.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>How the total reached about \u00a388 million<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The \u00a388 million figure comes from combining the two reported amounts. Roundtable Sports, citing Tottenham\u2019s Companies House records, reported that Levy had received around \u00a361 million in salaries, bonuses and other payments over his time with the club. Adding the reported \u00a327 million departure payment brings the total to approximately \u00a388 million. The \u00a361 million figure is based on the club\u2019s reported financial records, while The Athletic\u2019s \u00a327 million figure relates specifically to the terms of Levy\u2019s departure.<!-- --> The combined amount is also striking in the context of Tottenham\u2019s finances. The roughly \u00a388 million total is around the same as the \u00a388 million Tottenham received from Bayern Munich for Harry Kane in 2023, a comparison highlighted in reports about Levy\u2019s earnings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Nearly a quarter-century at Tottenham<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Levy\u2019s departure was formally announced by Tottenham on September 4, 2025. The club said he had stepped down as executive chairman after nearly 25 years in the role. His time at Tottenham covered some of the biggest changes in the club\u2019s modern history. The period included major investment in the playing squad and academy, the development of the club\u2019s training facilities and, most notably, the move into the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The stadium became more than a new home for the football team. It was designed as a multi-purpose venue and has since hosted NFL games, concerts, boxing and other major events. Tottenham also became a regular presence in European competitions during Levy\u2019s tenure. In its announcement of his departure, the club said it had competed in European competitions in 18 of the previous 20 seasons and had won the Europa League shortly before Levy left.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>A new leadership structure<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Levy\u2019s exit also marked a change in the way Tottenham was run. Peter Charrington became non-executive chairman, while Vinai Venkatesham took over as chief executive. The club also appointed Thomas Frank as men\u2019s head coach and Martin Ho as head coach of the women\u2019s team. Tottenham said the appointments formed part of its succession planning and were intended to provide a new foundation for the club.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>For Levy, the change brought to a close a relationship with Tottenham that had lasted from the early 2000s into the middle of the 2020s. His directorship with Tottenham Hotspur Limited ended on September 4, 2025. The newly reported financial details now add another dimension to that departure, giving a clearer picture of the compensation associated with the end of his long-running tenure.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/football\/top-stories\/in-2025-daniel-levys-nearly-25-year-run-as-tottenham-chairman-ended-a-year-later-new-figures-show-he-received-a-27-million-exit-payment-taking-his-total-club-earnings-to-about-88-million\/articleshow\/134438626.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Levy spent almost 25 years at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur before stepping down as executive chairman in September 2025 (Image Credit: Getty Images) Daniel Levy spent almost 25 years at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur before stepping down as executive chairman in September 2025.
