Tottenham Hotspur are going through a real turning point after Softfootball reported the stunning departure of Daniel Levy, after 24 years at the helm , his sudden sacking by the club's owners, the Lewis family, sent ripples across English football. Levy had built Spurs into a financial powerhouse, masterminding their stadium move and countless transfer deals. But the club's struggles last season, finishing 17th in the league despite a Europa League triumph under Ange Postecoglou, finally brought his long reign to an end.
What followed was a total restructuring of Spurs' leadership. Vinai Venkatesham stepped in as Chief Executive, backed by a new Executive Leadership Team. Fabio Paratici returned as Sporting Director, working alongside Johan Lange. Their mission: to modernise Spurs' football operations and re-establish identity. Then came Thomas Frank, appointed as head coach in June 2025, and almost instantly, things started clicking again.
And at the heart of this resurgence is Cristian Romero. Once branded too hot-headed for his own good, the Argentine defender has transformed himself into the emotional and tactical leader of this new Tottenham. With Son Heung-min gone, Romero was handed the captain's armband , a gamble that's already paying off. He's become the soul of this squad.
