Jose Mourinho has left his position as head coach of Tottenham. He was sacked after being summoned for talks on Monday morning, less than a week before the Carabao Cup final.
Mourinho had been in charge at Spurs since November 2019, replacing Mauricio Pochettino, signing a deal until the end of the 2023 season.
He took Tottenham from 14th in the Premier League to finish sixth – securing Europa League qualification – but were knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage by RB Leipzig.
Spurs are currently seventh in the table, five points off the Champions League places.
Mourinho’s stormy tenure has come to an end as chairman Daniel Levy takes drastic action over the club’s disappointing second half to the Premier League season.
It is understood that first-team coaches Ryan Mason and Chris Powell will take charge for the remainder of the campaign.
Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Everton on Friday night leaves them seventh in the table, five points adrift of the Champions League places, and Levy has decided the time has come to axe the Portuguese.
Mourinho has dropped more points from winning positions this season than any other Premier League club and his relationship with a number of players has been fractious.
Tottenham return to league action on Wednesday night with a game against Southampton.
The 58 year-old was told the news this morning according to sources. The draw with Everton on Friday night meant Spurs have just one win from their last five games and were eliminated from the Europa League in March.
They play the League Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday, in what could be the club’s first trophy since they won the same competition in 2008.
