Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the appointment of Peter Charrington as the club’s new non-executive chairman, following the departure of Daniel Levy after almost 25 years in charge.
Levy, the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League, stepped down this week in what represents the most significant boardroom change at Spurs in decades.
The club stated there would be no alterations to its ownership or shareholder structure, but Charrington’s promotion highlights a new era of governance designed to ensure “long-term sporting success.”
Who is Peter Charrington?
Peter Charrington is a highly experienced financial executive with strong ties to ENIC, the investment group that owns a majority stake in Tottenham Hotspur.
He previously spent 26 years at Citi, where he rose to become CEO of Citi Private Bank, overseeing the firm’s global private banking operations from New York.
Beyond banking, Charrington has held senior positions across a range of industries:
- Senior Partner at Nexus Luxury, which operates the Albany resort in the Bahamas, co-owned by Joe Lewis’ Tavistock Group.
- Senior Advisor to One Equity Partners and UST Global.
- Board Member at engineering companies Amey and Acteon, as well as wealth management group Avaloq AG and investment firm Saranac Partners.
Tottenham’s New Leadership Structure
Charrington was appointed to the Spurs board earlier this year as a non-executive director. With Levy’s departure, he now assumes the newly created role of non-executive chairman.
Meanwhile, Vinai Venkatesham, appointed chief executive in April, will take charge of the club’s day-to-day operations.
This restructuring signals Tottenham’s intention to combine strong business leadership with a renewed focus on delivering consistent success both on and off the pitch.
