Tottenham Sack Manager Andre Villas-Boas

 

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Andre Villas-Boas in the wake of Dec 15,2013 Sunday's 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool in the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League

"The club can announce that agreement has been reached with head coach Andre Villas-Boas for the termination of his services," said a Spurs statement.
"The decision was by mutual consent and in the interests of all parties."

 

The loss was the club's worst at White Hart Lane in 16 years and left them seventh in the table

Former Chelsea boss Villas-Boas, 36, took over at Tottenham in July 2012

Note
Villas-Boas was dismissed by Chelsea in March 2012 after just over eight months in charge at Stamford Bridge, and he was hoping to rebuild his reputation at Tottenham.

He won 53.7% of his league games in charge, which is the highest of any Spurs manager since the Premier League era began in 1992.
