Mourinho was appointed Tottenham Manager in November 2019, a day after the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.

The sack of Mourinho by Tottenham now makes it the third Club in England to have parted ways with him.
On two occasions, he was sacked by Chelsea Football Club, and also got sacked by the Red Devils of Manchester United Football Club, before joining Tottenham Hotspur, where he has also been shown the exit door.
Tottenham are gearing up to take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final next weekend as they search for their first trophy in 13 years.
