Jose Mourinho has been sacked as Tottenham coach after 17 months in charge of the London club.

Mourinho was sacked Monday morning, six days before Tottenham contest the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

According to reports, Ryan Mason and Chris Powell will be in temporary charge until a new permanent manager is appointed.

It was gathered that Tottenham have begun the process of appointing a new coach.

He replaced Mauricio Pochettino in the club in November 2019, signing a deal expected to end in 2023.

Last season, Tottenham finished sixth as against their previous 14th position in the Premier League.

The club also qualified for Europa League but were knocked out of the Champions League by RB Leipzig at the last-16 stage.
