"I am a little bit in shock because he was my former president. I don't know what happened there. Of course, I sent a text to him, and I sent a text to different people that were very close to him. I wish him the best ... my relationship [with him] always was very good, and yes, I was in shock."
"I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees. We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level."
Daniel Levy stepped down as Tottenham Hotspur executive chairman with immediate effect after nearly 25 years in the role. Mauricio Pochettino said he was in shock by the news, described Levy as his former president, and said he sent texts to Levy and others close to him while wishing Levy the best. Pochettino managed Tottenham from 2014, finishing in the top four for four consecutive seasons and leading the club to a Champions League final, but left in November 2019. Pochettino has since managed Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and the United States men's national team, and Thomas Frank is Tottenham's current manager.
