London –
The shocking news came from Tottenham Hotspur. The management of the North London club fired Jose Mourinho from his position as manager. Wow!
This was confirmed by The Athletic, who said Tottenham officially dismissed the man from Portugal as of Monday (19/4/2021) afternoon WIB. The club’s poor performance this season is the reason.
Tottenham, who have been eliminated from the Europa League competition, are now stuck in seventh place in the Premier League standings after a 2-2 draw against Everton last weekend. Tottenham, with 50 points from 32 matches, are five points from West Ham United in fourth place.
Poor performance since the turn of the year is the reason why Tottenham are predicted to fail to finish in the top four. That means Mourinho is deemed to have failed to meet the targets set by Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
Mourinho’s dismissal was sudden, considering that Tottenham will play the Premier League Cup final against Manchester City this weekend. Mourinho’s vacant position will be filled by former player Ryan Mason until the end of the season.
Mason previously worked as a coach on the academy team. However, other sources said, Mourinho was fired because he did not agree with Tottenham’s intention to join European Super League.
Jose Mourinho feel the idea is against the noble values of football today and think Daniel Levy has made a mistake.
