Jose Mourinho has been fired, bringing a contract that had been due to run until the summer of 2023 to a premature conclusion

Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after just 17 months in charge.

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

They 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 face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
