Mauricio Pochettino has revealed his surprise at Daniel Levy’s decision to step down as Tottenham Hotspur chairman.
The former Spurs boss, who managed the club between 2014 and 2019, worked closely with Levy during his five-year spell. Together, they guided Tottenham to a Champions League final in 2019, one of the high points of the club’s modern era.
The North London side confirmed on Thursday that Levy would leave his role after nearly 25 years at the helm, having first taken charge in 2001 following Sir Alan Sugar.
Speaking on the news, Poch admitted the departure caught him off guard.
“I knew the news about Daniel Levy yesterday,” he said. “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. Still no answer (from Levy). I don’t have more information. What I want to say is I wish all the best for his life and his family time.
“My relationship was always very good. I was in shock like many people that know him.”
