Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Jose Mourinho.
The announcement comes after Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 with Everton on Friday evening, leaving them down in seventh place on the table; nonetheless just hours after the Premier League club announced plans to join the European Super League
Mourinho, 58, was appointed as Tottenham manager in November 2019, a day after the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.
He guided them to sixth place in the table by the end of the campaign, but his style of football often didn’t win him much acclaim from fans.
His original deal with the North London club was due to run until the end of the 2023 season.
His departure comes with Spurs in seventh position in the table and five points away from the places needed for Champions League qualification. In their last match on Friday, Spurs drew 2-2 with Everton.
It also comes just days before Spurs meet Manchester City in the final of the League Cup at Wembley.
When Mourinho took charge at Spurs, the club was 14th in the league table – but he led them to 6th, to secure Europa League qualification.
Spurs are among 12 clubs to have rocked the world of football by announcing the formation of a breakaway European Super League.
