Jose Mourinho has been axed by
English club , Tottenham.
His sack is coming at a time the club is
on course to miss out on Champions
League football .
Mourinho , 58 , replaced Mauricio
Pochettino in November 2019 but has
now been dismissed after a dismal
domestic campaign and failure in the
Europa League .
The bombshell axing comes less than a
week before Tottenham are set to take
on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup
final at Wembley .
It has been claimed that coaches Ryan
Mason and Chris Powell are set to take
the reins for the rest of the season .
The search has now begun for a
permanent successor to Mourinho , who
came under heavy fire for limp displays
this campaign , with an appointment
likely this summer .
The former Manchester United and Real
Madrid’ s last game in charge came in
the 2 - 2 draw against Everton on Friday.
Despite Harry Kane’ s late leveller at
Goodison Park , the dropped points dealt
a major blow to their hopes of securing
a spot in the Champions League .
Tottenham are languishing in seventh
place in the Premier League standings ,
five points adrift of fourth , and Daniel
Levy has now pulled the trigger .
