ANDRE Villas-Boas has been sacked as manager of Tottenham Hotspur after 17 months in the role, the English Premier League club announced last night.
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.
"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 ($171m) on new players during the off-season.
^This is shocker, I wasn't expecting Boas to get sacked this much early. Tottenham wasn't that much bad this season, but Boas lost two big games(one against Liverpool this weak, and other one against Man City), but still were able to maintain 7th spot, 8 points away from table toppers, Arsenal. Levi made a big mistake by selling Bale, which itself was a bad decision, and now this.
