Tottenham ‘appoint Scott Munn upgrade’ as Spurs exit nears

Tottenham have already appointed an upgrade on Scott Munn as an update emerges on the 51-year-old’s future in North London.

It has been a difficult season for Tottenham, with Daniel Levy receiving plenty of criticism.

Ange Postecoglou still has the chance to save Spurs’ campaign and make history by winning the UEFA Europa League.

However, regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season, it appears as though there are still set to be changes behind the scenes at Tottenham.

Munn set to leave Tottenham ‘as upgrade secured’

As reported by the Mail Online (18 April), Munn is expected to leave Tottenham.

Munn led the review into Spurs’ injury crisis during the 2023/24 season, which resulted in Geoff Scott being removed from his position. However, things have not improved, and it looks as though Munn is set to pay the price and leave his position as Spurs’ chief football officer as a result.

And this isn’t the only change taking place behind the scenes.

Spurs have struggled in the Premier League this season

Tottenham recently announced that Vinai Venkatesham will become the club’s CEO this summer, and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes the 44-year-old is a big upgrade on Munn.

“Venkatesham is hugely experienced,” Wenham said.

“He worked for Arsenal for 14 years across a range of different roles. He knows Levy very well from the European football conventions. I think this is a very good appointment. Do I think he knows significantly more about modern football than Munn? Yes, I do.

“It looks as though Munn’s position is under threat, and I think Venkatesham is a huge upgrade on him. Therefore, I welcome his appointment at the club.”

Tottenham need a shake-up behind the scenes

Whether Munn is responsible for Spurs’ struggles this season isn’t clear. However, what is clear is that changes are needed in North London.

While the Lilywhites could still win the Europa League, their Premier League form must improve next year, and with supporters spending the majority of the season frustrated, it is clear that those behind the scenes need to take a long, hard look at how they are running things.
