Not at all. The winner of my last league was showing LV15. He played in a LV6 league, so his team must have been LV6. As someone pointed out, he must have taken over a new team when he reached LV9.
you don't have to start at lvl 1 when taking over a new club. generally you get teams -5 levels and lower from your current level.
