Chairman Daniel Levy termed Jose as a “true professional” who showed enormous resilience during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“Jose and his coaching staff have been with us through some of our most challenging times as a Club. Jose is a true professional who showed enormous resilience during the pandemic. On a personal level I have enjoyed working with him and regret that things have not worked out as we both had envisaged. He will always be welcome here and we should like to thank him and his coaching staff for their contribution,” he said in a statement.
Ryan Mason will be the Tottenham manager until the end of the season, after Mourinho being sacked. Chris Powell will also work with him.
