The Spurs chief has faced criticism from supporters over the club's lack of trophies during his 24-year tenure as chair but he stressed that the construction of The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is his greatest achievement with the Premier League club.

Levy told Gary Neville on The Overlap podcast: "It’s one of those situations when I’m not here I’m sure I’ll get the credit.

"This stadium is a symbol of ­Tottenham Hotspur on the global map. It’s fantastic for the local ­community – the employment we’re creating because of this stadium. The fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we’re doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold and something right."

Spurs won their first trophy in 17 years last season following their Europa League triumph and Levy is hopeful that new manager Thomas Frank can help the team compete for silverware on a regular basis.

The businessman said: "Whenever you appoint a coach, you always believe it’s right. You need a lot of ­ingredients for it to be right. Thomas is a highly intelligent individual, a ­fantastic way about him in terms of communication.

"He will be great at ­developing young players and older players and making them better. He gets the style of football we want to play. We haven’t said to him: ‘You’ve got to win the league this year.’ We just want to compete at the highest level."

Meanwhile, Levy criticised the Premier League for the amount of time it has taken to investigate Manchester City's alleged breaches of the league's financial rules - after the club were charged back in February 2023.

He said: "It would be really unfair of me to talk about another club in the Premier League.

"All I would say is that it’s going through a process which has gone on for far too long. It needs to be brought, for the good of the game, to a conclusion one way or another."
