Andre Villas-Boas sacked by Tottenham

Tottenham have sacked head coach Andre Villas-Boas after less than 18 months in charge.

After Sunday’s 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool, it seems the Reds were unwilling to give AVB more time, coming just three weeks after the 6-0 thumping by Manchester City at the Etihad.

A Spurs statement said: “The club can announce that agreement has been reached with head coach, Andre Villas-Boas, for the termination of his services.

“The decision was by mutual consent and in the interests of all parties.”
