Daniel Philip Levy (born 8 February 1962) is an English businessman and the current chairman of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur.

[4][5] He studied Economics and Land Economy at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and graduated in 1985 with a First Class Honours Degree.

[5] He formed a business association with Joe Lewis in an investment trust called ENIC International Ltd and became its managing director in 1995.

[11] Another attempt was made in July 2000 but that was again rejected; however, increasing hostility by fans towards Sugar eventually persuaded him to sell.

[20] He replaced Sugar as chairman of Tottenham Hotspur in February 2001 on the completion of the sale,[19] and took over the day-to-day running of the club in October 2001.

[26] Jol had some success moving Tottenham out of the mid-table position, but was dismissed in the 2007–08 season after the team had only won one out of the first ten games.

[28] Redknapp guided Spurs to a top-four finish in the 2009–10 season, winning an entry into the qualification round of the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

[30] On 3 July, Levy appointed former Chelsea and Porto boss Andre Villas-Boas the team's new head coach.

[31] Following some poor results in the first half of the 2013–14 season, including a 5–0 home defeat to Liverpool, Levy sacked Villas-Boas on 16 December 2013.

[39] Former player Ryan Mason served as an interim manager for the rest of the season, losing to Manchester City in the 2021 League Cup final 0–1.

[40] Nuno was sacked on 1 November 2021 following a run of poor results which saw Tottenham lose four out of six previous Premier League games.

[44] Conte's assistant, Cristian Stellini, was appointed as interim manager with the intention of finishing the season, but was sacked himself following a 6-1 defeat to Newcastle.

[60] Levy is particularly known for his last-minute dealings on deadline days, with notable examples including the signings of Rafael van der Vaart and Hugo Lloris.

[61] He is also known for targeting young players, in the hopes of developing them into major stars; this strategy has seen such successes as Gareth Bale, Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Dele Alli.

In 2007, he lobbied successfully for clubs to be allowed to name seven players on the substitute bench, in order to encourage the inclusion of youngsters; the change was ratified in February 2008.

It includes the world's first dividing retractable pitch to accommodate other leading sports, notably American football, and entertainment events.

[74] The design allowed the club to agree a ten-year deal to host NFL matches at their new home from 2018 onwards.
