After a year at Tottenham, following his landmark appointment, Frank Arnesen had his own experience of Daniel Levy’s determination to get his money’s worth.
‘As you know him, he squeezed this lemon, he wanted to get everything out of me, so he was on the phone to me one, two hours every day,’ Arnesen chuckled as he reflected on working right up to the last moments of his Spurs gardening leave.
In six years at Chelsea Arnesen then worked for Roman Abramovich, discovering a man who was supportive, passionate about Chelsea’s academy and never forgot anything.
