Jose Mourinho Sacked By Tottenham
View comments
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 .
