Tottenham Hotspur is anticipated to part ways with Scott Munn, the club`s chief football officer, following the arrival of Vinai Venkatesham, formerly of Arsenal.
Munn, an Australian aged 51, has held the position of chief football officer at Spurs, effectively acting as the second-in-command to chairman Daniel Levy, since September 2023.

Munn`s role commenced shortly after Ange Postecoglou, also Australian, became the head coach.
However, Munn is now expected to leave as the club successfully recruited Venkatesham, Arsenal`s former CEO, to take over as their new chief executive starting this summer.
Venkatesham, 44, will be in charge of all operations both on and off the field, a responsibility that overlaps significantly with Munn`s current duties.
Munn, previously an executive at City Football Group, has conducted several reviews across different departments at Tottenham during his tenure.
These reviews led to departures in various sectors, including scouting and medical.
Despite changes in the medical department, including the exit of long-serving head of medicine Geoff Scott last year, Spurs have experienced one of their most injury-plagued seasons in recent times.
The number of injured players frequently reached double digits during the winter months.
Notably, captain Son Heung-min and defender Radu Dragusin were absent from Thursday`s crucial Europa League quarter-final victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Venkatesham spent 14 years at Arsenal, Tottenham`s main rivals, including four years as CEO before stepping down last summer.
Upon his appointment last week, Venkatesham commented: “I’m excited to be joining Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
“After taking some time to recharge and evaluate my options, I believe this is an exceptional opportunity to work with Daniel [Levy], the Board and all of the staff, to take the Club forward.”
Tottenham fans have protested against club`s owner Daniel Levy.
