Tottenham’s owners are understood to be committed to the club for the long term amid the exit of executive chairman Daniel Levy on Thursday.
The north London club announced on Thursday that Levy has stepped down from his role after nearly 25 years in the position.
Spurs fans had protested against the running of the club amid just two trophies being won in the Levy era.
Levy is understood to have been invited to step down by the Lewis family trust, which controls ownership of the club.
The family felt it was time for a change at the top after he had been the club’s key decision-maker for almost a quarter of a century.
A source close to the Lewis family said: “Generations of the Lewis family support this special football club and they want what the fans want – more wins more often.
“This is why you have seen recent changes, new leadership and a fresh approach.
New head coach Thomas (Frank) and Peter Charrington, believe they are backing the right team to deliver on this.”
The family commissioned a review by US firm the Gibb River Group, which is understood to have contributed to the changes made among the leadership but was not the sole factor.
The review did however reinforce the idea that a professional CEO was needed, sources close to the family indicated.
