Exclusive: Tottenham to appoint ex-Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham as chief executive in shock move
Venkatesham to fill newly-created role at Spurs after leaving Arsenal last summer
Tottenham Hotspur are to appoint a former Arsenal director as their chief executive in a dramatic boardroom shake-up that raises questions about chairman Daniel Levy’s stranglehold on the club.
The Standard can reveal that Vinai Venkatesham, who was Arsenal’s chief executive for four years until leaving last summer, will fill the newly-created role at Spurs in a move that signals major changes in the way the club is run.
Tensions between fans and the club’s majority owner English National Investment Company (Enic) came to a head last weekend with a protest march before the Southampton game.
