UPDATE: Tottenham Sack Jose Mourinho After 17 Months As Manager

Tottenham are currently seventh, having picked up two points from their past three league games, and were knocked out of the Europa League in March.

Spurs confirmed the news just before 11am on Monday morning and said Ryan Mason would take charge of first-team training.

What have Tottenham said about sacking Mourinho?

A statement said: “The club can today announce that Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff Joao Sacramento, Nuno Santos, Carlos Lalin and Giovanni Cerra have been relieved of their duties.

Chairman Daniel Levy added: “Jose and his coaching staff have been with us through some of our most challenging times as a Club. Jose is a true professional who showed enormous resilience during the pandemic.

“On a personal level I have enjoyed working with him and regret that things have not worked out as we both had envisaged. He will always be welcome here and we should like to thank him and his coaching staff for their contribution.”

This season, Mourinho -who previously managed Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto – suffered 10 league defeats in a single campaign for the first time in his managerial career.

No Premier League side has lost more points from winning positions this season than Spurs, who have dropped 20.
