Daniel levy Outlines Lofty Aspirations After Postecoglou’s Exit
Daniel Levy, chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, has publicly addressed the club’s decision to part ways with Ange Postecoglou. While celebrating the historic Europa League victory, Levy emphasized that this achievement alone does not fulfill spurs’ broader objectives. The club remains firmly focused on clinching Premier League success as its primary goal.
Balancing European Glory with domestic Challenges
Even though Postecoglou guided tottenham to a landmark 1-0 triumph over Manchester United in the Europa League final-securing their first major european trophy in over 40 years-his tenure was overshadowed by spurs’ struggles in the Premier League. The team recorded one of its lowest league finishes ever despite qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
A Strategic Shift: thomas Frank Steps Up
In response to these mixed results, Thomas Frank was appointed as head coach following his seven-year spell managing Brentford. This marks Frank’s inaugural experience leading a side into European competition as Tottenham prepares for their return to the Champions League stage next season.
The Board’s Unified Vision and Future Ambitions
Levy shared insights into the collective board decision during an exclusive conversation alongside new chief executive Vinai Venkatesham. He acknowledged that while winning silverware is important-the recent parade demonstrated its importance-the club’s sights are set higher: “Our ambition is clear; we want to win the league.” Levy reiterated Spurs’ determination not only to dominate domestically but also to challenge Europe’s elite clubs.
“I am grateful for everything Ange contributed,” Levy added.”His first year saw us finish fifth and then secure a major trophy last season. However, competing at all levels demands continuous growth.”
The chairman also expressed respect for Postecoglou and his family, affirming they will always be part of Tottenham’s legacy despite this unanimous board decision.
A thoughtful Appointment: why Thomas Frank Was Chosen
Vinai Venkatesham, discussing their recruitment process, revealed that Spurs identified ten critical qualities necessary for success before rigorously assessing more than 30 candidates under technical director Johan Lange’s guidance.
“Thomas stood out due to his exceptional communication skills and tactical acumen,” Venkatesham explained confidently. “his ability to develop young players aligns perfectly with our squad’s promising core.”
The CEO expressed optimism about Frank’s capacity to nurture emerging talent-a crucial factor given Tottenham’s focus on building a sustainable future through youth progress.

“Looking back on my time managing Tottenham Hotspur fills me with pride,” stated Postecoglou in an official message from his agency CAA Base. “Leading such a historic English club and helping restore some of its former prestige has been unforgettable.”
The Australian manager described winning in Bilbao as “the culmination of two years marked by dedication and belief despite widespread skepticism.” He highlighted that solid foundations have now been established so future trophies won’t require decades-long waits again.
“I have great confidence in this group of players,” he added, acknowledging how fans’ unwavering support during tough periods fueled his motivation throughout his tenure.
