IN A shocking turn of events, Tottenham Hotspur announced today that Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff were to be “relieved of their duties” just days before they face Manchester City in the League Cup Final.

Spurs announced that ex-player Ryan Mason would take over temporarily and that “a further update will follow in due course.”

For fans, Mourinho’s appointment in November 2019 was a shock itself, as beloved manager Mauricio Pochettino departed the club after five years, following a run of bad form and a Champion’s League final loss that the side failed to come back from.
