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.
Aussie Munn, 51, has been Spurs’ chief football officer – de facto No2 to chairman Daniel Levy – since September 2023.
His post formally began just a few months after compatriot Ange Postecoglou took charge as head coach.
But Munn is now believed to be set for the exit door after the club lured former Gunners CEO Venkatesham to become their new chief executive from this summer.
Venkatesham, 44, will be responsible for all operations both on and off the pitch, which supporters quickly realised was a similar remit to the one Munn already held.
Former City Football Group executive Munn has overseen a number of reviews in various departments during his time at Spurs.
It has seen a number of employees move on, including in the scouting and medical department.
Yet despite the changes to the latter, which saw long-serving head of medicine Geoff Scott depart last year, Spurs have suffered one of their most difficult seasons in recent memory when it comes to injuries.
Their number of sidelined players over the winter months regularly reached over double figures.
They were missing captain Son Heung-min and defender Radu Dragusin for Thursday’s vital quarter-final win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League.

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.”
