Tottenham have sacked manager Andre Villas-Boas in the wake of Sunday's 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool.
The
defeat was the club's worst at White Hart Lane in 16 years and left
Spurs seventh in the Premier League - eight points behind leaders
Arsenal.
Villas-Boas, 36, took over at Tottenham in July 2012.
"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."
Villas-Boas
had come under increasing pressure in recent weeks as his side
struggled to keep pace with the top four in the league.
His side
lost 6-0 to Manchester City on 24 November and, despite a draw against
Manchester United and wins at Fulham and Sunderland, the defeat by
Liverpool proved the final straw for the Spurs hierarchy.
