Following their Europa League triumph, Tottenham have wasted no time initiating a major summer overhaul. Significant changes are already underway across various levels of the club, with several board and staff members set to either take on new roles or depart entirely. In a particularly notable development, one of Daniel Levy’s closest assistants has recently stepped down, a move considered a significant shift in the club’s internal hierarchy.
Further changes are expected in multiple areas, including a restructuring of the medical and sports science departments, as Spurs look to modernise and align every aspect of the organisation with their renewed ambitions.
According to Football.london, a major shake-up is now underway at Tottenham, marked by the departure of executive director Donna-Maria Cullen. A long-standing and influential figure at the club, Cullen had been one of Daniel Levy’s most trusted confidantes throughout his nearly 25-year tenure as chairman. Having been with Spurs since 1992, her exit signals a significant change in the club’s leadership structure.
Cullen officially stepped down from her role on Saturday and will spend the coming months transitioning her responsibilities to other members of the organisation. With her departure, only Matthew Collecott, operations and finance directorand Rebecca Caplehorn, director of football administration and governance remain as Levy’s longest-serving board members.
Further changes are expected across several departments at Tottenham, with the medical and sports science teams set for a significant overhaul. However, the most notable development this week is the appointment of Vinai Venkatesham as the club’s new CEO. Highly regarded for his work at Arsenal, Venkatesham has been brought in to guide Tottenham into a new era, one that prioritises greater transparency and communication with fans, something supporters have long called for.
As previously reported by Football.london, many within the club also believe that former managing director of football Fabio Paratici is likely to return in some capacity. Due to his involvement in an ongoing civil trial related to his time at Juventus, it is expected that any initial return would be in a consulting role rather than a formal executive position.
With sweeping reforms already underway at Tottenham, Daniel Levy faces a pivotal decision: whether to include head coach Ange Postecoglou in the club’s long-term vision. The Australian broke Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought with their Europa League triumph, but questions remain about whether he will be the man to lead them into a new era.
As the club prepares for a demanding season, aiming to build on their European success and make a strong return to the Champions League, squad reshaping is already in motion. The decision on Postecoglou’s future will set the tone for what could become a defining campaign in Tottenham’s modern history.
