David Ornstein says Tottenham have now made an appointment that ‘will be regarded by many as a coup’
Tottenham Hotspur have had a pretty difficult season amid injuries and inconsistency, and an eye is already being cast towards next season.
Obviously Tottenham are still very much in the Europa League pict🐠⭕ure, having drawn with Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, so there’s still a lot to play for.
However, Tottenham’s Premier League campaign has been nothing short of a nightmare and, as such, th🌱e club will be eager to ensure a better season next time out.
Now, David Ornstein h⛎as commented on an appointment Tottenham have made that “will be regarded by💃 many as a coup”.

David Ornstein says Tottenham appointment of Vinai Venkatesham will be seen by many as a coup
Ornstein reported on Tottenham’s announc🍷ement involving Vinai Venkatesham, who will start work in the summer as Spurs’ new CE𒊎O.
Venkatesham spent 14 ওyears at Tottenham’s arch-rivals Arsenal, working in various capacities before being named CEO in 2020.
Venkatꦗesham left Arsenal ✨at the end of the 2023-24 season, taking someꦑ time out of the game, though he continued to receive offers from inside and outside of football.
Ornstein reported that Venkatesham will have responsibility for “all operations on/off pitch” and that he turned down “othౠer major jobs” ahead of joining Tottenhaꦛm.
The appointment “will be regarded by many as a⛦ coup” for Spurs, added Ornstein.
What Vinai Venkatesham’s appointment could mean for Tottenham
Venkatesham has enjoyed a 🧸fruitful career in and out of football.
Aside from his Arsenal role, he was part of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and is a non-executive director of the🧸 British Olympic Association.
It is hoped🍎 that Venkatesham’s appointment could provide some stability and direction to Totten✃ham after a tricky number of years.
His appointment could also see🥀 a reshuffling ⛄in Tottenham’s boardroom, with responsibilities being changed among its key members.
As things stand, Daniel Levy is chairman, Scott Mಌunn is in charge of all footballing departments, and Johan Lange is in charge of player recruitment.
Meanwhile, Fabio Paratici’s 30-month ban from football activity expires on 30 Ju🍒n♏e this year.
He has been able to work as a consultant over the past few years due to a successful appeal which r🧸educed 🅺the scope of his ban, and has often been spotted at Spurs home games.
