After two decades of dedicated service, Donna-Maria Cullen, known as Daniel Levy’s trusted right-hand woman, is set to leave Tottenham Hotspur.
Her departure marks the end of an era for the north London club, coming at a time when Spurs are facing big changes following their historic Europa League triumph.
Donna-Maria Cullen Reflects on Her Spurs Journey
In a heartfelt statement shared with fans and the club, Cullen revealed how tough it was to make the decision to move on. Tottenham has been her world for nearly 30 years.
From her early days at White Hart Lane, through their brief chapter at Wembley, and finally settling into the new stadium, she’s been part of some incredible memories.
She thanked Daniel Levy for his leadership and vision, and paid tribute to the many colleagues she’s worked alongside.
For Cullen, winning the Europa League this season was a dream come true—a fitting finale to her time at Spurs.
Now, she’s looking forward to spending more time with her family and ensuring a smooth transition for her team.
Daniel Levy Praises Cullen’s Impact Beyond the Boardroom
Levy also took to social media to express his gratitude for Cullen’s vast contributions.
He pointed out that her role stretched far beyond marketing and communications, highlighting her critical influence in the club’s stadium development and training facilities.
He also praised her for her work with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and the London Academy of Excellence—initiatives that have made a real difference in the local community.
Cullen has been a driving force behind the club’s efforts in environmental responsibility, diversity, and the growth of the women’s team.
Levy admitted it would be impossible to replace her with just one person but respected her decision to step back and take some personal time.
He also hinted that her advice would still be welcome in the future.
Spurs Face Uncertainty in the Dugout Despite Europa League Glory
While Cullen’s exit grabs headlines, Tottenham’s future on the pitch remains uncertain.
Despite clinching their first trophy in 17 years with the Europa League win in Bilbao, head coach Ange Postecoglou’s position is reportedly under scrutiny after a disappointing 17th-place finish in the Premier League.
The club is said to have opened talks with potential replacements, including Brentford’s Thomas Frank, as they weigh their options for the next season.
Postecoglou Stays Defiant and Focused on the Future
Postecoglou, currently enjoying his off-season break in Greece, broke his silence with a determined message.
He emphasized that winning the Europa League was just the beginning—not the end of Spurs’ ambitions.
He said, “I didn’t want us to just enjoy the moment.
I also wanted us to think about what’s next, you know, don’t settle for this. We’ve got a taste of it now.
My players have got a taste for it. The club’s got a taste for it. Well, let’s make sure we’re back here again.”
With two years left on his contract, Postecoglou acknowledged he’s unsure if he’ll remain in charge next season, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the club’s next move.
