The post-Levy era continues to shake things up at Tottenham, as the club are set to hire Carlos Raphael Moersen as the director of football operations. That’s according to The Athletic, which reports that he is in “advanced talks” over a move to north London from the City Football Group.
Moersen, who is better known as just “Rafi”, has made his way through the ranks with the City Football Group, where he is currently the director of football transactions. That role relates to the negotiation of contracts with players, both current and possible future stars in the transfer window.
In 10 years with the group, Moersen has risen through the ranks to become a highly-rated operator, with the report claiming that he has stepped up in sharing responsibilities since Omar Berrada left to join Manchester United. While the deal isn’t signed yet, it is another signal of intent from Tottenham to keep transforming the hierarchy above the squad and the coaching staff.
The Lewis Family, who are the current majority shareholders of the club, have seemingly taken a more hands-on role in the running of the club. Daniel Levy’s exit in September caused plenty of eyebrows to be raised, as his 24-year spell as executive chairman came to an abrupt end.
Modern-day Tottenham had been largely shaped by Levy’s actions on and off the pitch, for both better and worse. While the new stadium will likely be his crowning achievement, questions over transfer strategy and sporting success on the pitch will always be around.
It remains to be seen what his legacy will be as time goes on, but for now, the immediate change is still having some impact on the wider scope of changes at the club.
