UPDATE: Tottenham Sack Jose Mourinho After 17 Months As Manager

Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Tottenham after just 17 months as manager.

Infoexpert24 understands Spurs have decided to path ways with Mourinho after just over a season and a half in charge. Tottenham are in seventh in the Premier League and at risk of missing out on a place in the top four.

The Portuguese replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Spurs manager in November 2019 and guided the club to sixth in the Premier League last season.

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.

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.
