What Vinai Venkatesham will bring to Tottenham after key role in Arsenal rebuild
Former CEO was a hugely popular figure over 14 years with the Gunners and takes plenty of expertise across the north London divide
It tells you all you need to know about Vinai Venkatesham’s pedigree that he was part of The New Year Honours List for 2024 in recognition of his services to sport.
Venkatesham, who will become Tottenham’s new chief executive this summer, is best known for his 14 years at Arsenal, but his CV is far greater than that.
Moving up the ranks at Arsenal, in 2018 Venkatesham was appointed managing director at the same time that Raul Sanllehi was made head of football relations.
