Tottenham Hotspur executive Scott Munn is set to step down from his role as chief football officer after just two years at the club, Daily Mail reports.
Munn joined Spurs from City Football Group’s Chinese operations back in 2023 and has overseen several changes across the club.
He’s hardly one to make the headlines, but the Australian is considered one of the most influential figures behind the scenes at the club.
Munn was charged with shaking up and streamlining the club’s football operations.
He was in charge of hiring and firing the club’s staff and was involved in the controversial dismissal of long-serving head of medicine Geoff Scott last year.
Munn led the internal review that ended with Scott’s exit, but the shake-up hardly made any difference to Tottenham’s woeful injury record.
If anything, it has been even worse this season.
Tottenham have only just started welcoming key players back to the fold, but the damage has already been done.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are pushing through the worst campaign in the club’s history and are languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Munn has been made the scapegoat for Tottenham’s woes.
He has been criticised for how he handled the medical department and looks set to pay for it with his job as Chairman Daniel Levy continues to reshuffle the board.
Levy’s latest shake-up will see Vinai Venkatesham join the club from Arsenal as chief executive, and Munn’s exit will clear the path for a new director under the incoming director.
Munn joined the club around the same time his compatriot Ange Postecoglou succeeded Antonio Conte as Tottenham’s permanent head coach.
However, his work has made life difficult for the Australian manager, whose future at Tottenham is also hanging on a knife edge.
Postecoglou was tasked with returning Spurs to the Champions League this season. Instead, he has delivered the worst domestic campaign in the club’s history.
There’s still hope for him to redeem himself. Tottenham’s 1-0 away win over Eintracht Frankfurt sealed their place in the Europa League semi-final.
If they go all the way, they’ll automatically qualify for the Champions League, but it remains to be seen if that’ll be enough to save Postecoglou’s job.
