Tottenham set to AXE Daniel Levy’s No2 behind huge backroom shake-up in brutal move after hiring ex-Arsenal supremo


TOTTENHAM are expected to part ways with supremo Scott Munn following the appointment of ex-Arsenal man Vinai Venkatesham.

Venkatesham spent 14 years with arch-rivals Arsenal, including four as chief exec, before stepping down last summer.

Speaking on his appointment last week, he said: ” I’m excited to be joining Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

“After taking some time to recharge and evaluate my options, I believe this is an exceptional opportunity to work with Daniel [Levy], the Board and all of the staff, to take the Club forward.”
