Tottenham confirmed in a statement that the Portuguese had
left along with his coaching staff.
"The Club can today announce that Jose Mourinho and his
coaching staff Joao Sacramento, Nuno Santos, Carlos Lalin and Giovanni Cerra
have been relieved of their duties," it said.
The news comes the morning after the London club said it was
one of 12 clubs forming a breakaway
European Super League.
Former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and
Manchester United manager Mourinho had been in charge of 86 games at the club,
having replaced Mauricio Pochettino in November 2019.
Having taken charge with the club in 14th place in the
Premier League, they finished in sixth spot.
His first full season in charge began well with the club
beating Manchester United and Manchester City and topping the table in
December. But they have since slumped.
A 2-2 draw against Everton on Friday left Tottenham in
seventh place and they have won only won of their last five league games, all
but ending their top-four hopes.
They also suffered an embarrassing Europa League last-16
exit against Dinamo Zagreb, losing the away leg 3-0 having won the first leg
2-0.
He did lead Tottenham to the League Cup final, however,
which takes place in six days time against Manchester City.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, who picked Mourinho because
of his career of winning silverware, said on Monday things had not worked out
as they had envisaged.
"Jose and his coaching staff have been with us through
some of our most challenging times as a club," he said.
"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."
Tottenham said former midfielder Ryan Mason will be in
charge of the first team on Monday.
