He led the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and he has transformed the club into one of the most profitable in the Premier League.
But his stewardship has also been met with backlash in some sections, with Spurs fans leading Levy Out protests last season.
Despite that, Tottenham claimed their first trophy in 17 years by winning the Europa League in May – which Levy describes as his best night as chairman.
He spoke about his tenure at the club in a rare interview with Gary Neville on Sky Bet’s The Overlap and Levy was asked if he feels he gets enough credit for what he has done at the club.
Levy responded saying: “I think it’s one of those situations – when I’m not here I’m sure I’ll get the credit.
“When you come here and look at this wonderful building [Tottenham Hotspur Stadium], and 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.”
Levy has drawn criticism at times for keeping wages low at Spurs in comparison to the other big six clubs.
But he has turned Tottenham into one of the biggest moneymakers in world football, with an income of £520million in 2023/24 alone.

He continued: “If you look at what we’ve done, we haven’t had somebody pumping hundreds of millions into the club, we’ve done it all on our own.
“We have been entrepreneurial and have increased our revenues to enable us to compete the best we can today.
“We’re all in a chain and I accept that there are certain clubs that are bigger than us, but this league is very competitive, and we can still beat a club with bigger revenues.”
