Andre Villas-Boas Has Been Sacked By Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with manager Andre Villas-Boas after Sunday's 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool.
The news comes after Spurs suffered their worst defeat at White Hart Lane in 16 years. AVB has grown under increasing pressure after Spurs saw an abysmal run of form in the Premier League as they currently sit 7th in the table.
The club have revealed; "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."
After the departure of star midfielder Gareth Bale, who made a world record £85.3 move to Real Madrid this summer, expectations were high for Spurs as chairman Daniel Levy brought in a wealth of high profile signings for a combined fee around £110 million.
With Spurs chasing a top four finish, the former Porto manager could not rally his squad to get the results against top sides as he has seen two disastrous results with a 6-0 thrashing against Manchester City and the 5-0 loss at the hands of Liverpool in the span of a month.
Speculation began to circulate as to the security of AVB's job as Fabio Capello was on hand at White Hart Lane on Sunday and could be a potential candidate to replace Villas-Boas at Spurs.
However, Tim Sherwood will lead the team for Wednesday's Capital One Cup match against West Ham and could be set to see out the rest of the season in charge of Spurs.
