Daniel Levy has sensationally quit as chairman of Tottenham Hotspur – after the club's principle owners decided it was time for a change at the top which they hope will trigger more success.
Late on Thursday afternoon, Spurs announced that the 62-year-old, who had been in post for close to 25 years, had stepped down.
However, Daily Mail Sport understands that the move came after the Joe Lewis family carried out a review of sporting performance that has led to sweeping changes.
While Tottenham qualified for the Champions League thanks to victory in the Europa League Final, they ended the Premier League season in 17th and anti-Levy protests were commonplace at matches.
