Tottenham sack Andre Villas-Boas after rout
18 Dec 2013 5:27 AM IST
The news arrived a day after Spurs were thrashed 5-0 by Liverpool at White Hart Lane, which left the north London club five points below the Champions League places in seventh in the Premier League table.
‘The club can announce that agreement has been reached with head coach, Andre Villas-Boas, for the termination of his services,’ read a statement on the Tottenham website.
‘The decision was by mutual consent and in the interests of all parties. We wish Andre well for the future. We shall make a further announcement in due course.’ Villas-Boas, 36, had also seen his side demolished 6-0 at Manchester City last month, despite Spurs having invested around £105 million ($171 million, 124 million euros) on new players during the close season.
Spurs have scored just 15 goals in their 16 league games this season since the Welshman left the club.
