Daniel Levy: Find out how much the Spurs chairman is worth
Daniel Levy is the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League.
He has held his role at Tottenham since 2001.
The 57-year-old has appointed a number of high profile managers over the years, with Glenn Hoddle, Harry Redknapp and Andre Villas-Boas all having stints in charge.
In 2014, Levy appointed Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham’s new head coach, turning the club into top-four regulars and leading the side to their first Champions League final last season.
However, poor domestic form this term cost Pochettino his job.
“We were extremely reluctant to make this change. It is not a decision the board has taken lightly, nor in haste,” said Levy.
“Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing.
“It falls on the board to make the difficult decisions – this one made more so given the many memorable moments we have had with Mauricio and his coaching staff – but we do so in the club’s best interests.”

Levy’s latest appointment is former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, who was announced just a day after Pochettino’s dismissal.
The Spurs chairman said: “In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football. He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician.
“He has won honours at every club he has coached. We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room.”
