Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will represent the Premier League at the European Club Association (ECA), the influential committee made up of Europe’s leading sides.
Levy and Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano had been vying to replace Ed Woodward on the ECA board. Woodward, Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman, stepped down in April after signing up to join the breakaway Super League.
The Tottenham chairman was understood to have won support from Premier League clubs including United, Liverpool and Arsenal. As a result, he stood unopposed on Tuesday afternoon.
Levy’s place at the top table among European clubs comes just five months after Spurs were one of the clubs to quit the ECA after committing to join the Super League.
After the proposed competition crumbled within days, nine of the 12 clubs who agreed to join the Super League were reinstated by the ECA in August. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus remain committed to a breakaway league.
Woodward was also the ECA’s representative on UEFA’s Professional Football Strategy Council, although it is yet to be seen if Levy will assume this position, too.
