Mauricio Pochettino has been sacked by Tottenham, the club have announced.
In a statement on Tuesday evening, the London club confirmed that Pochettino and his staff had been ‘relieved of their duties’.
The Argentine has been in charge since joining from Southampton in 2014, and guided the club to their first ever Champions League final last season.
However, Spurs have begun this season in poor form, and are currently 14th in the Premier League, having won just three of their 12 games, and also crashed out of the EFL Cup against League Two Colchester United.
Chairman, Daniel Levy, said: "We were extremely reluctant to make this change and it is not a decision the Board has taken lightly, nor in haste.
“Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing.
“It falls to the Board to make the difficult decisions - this one made more so given the many memorable moments we have had with Mauricio and his coaching staff - but we do so in the Club's best interests.
“Mauricio and his coaching staff will always be part of our history. I have the utmost admiration for the manner in which he dealt with the difficult times away from a home ground whilst we built the new stadium and for the warmth and positivity he brought to us.
"I should like to thank him and his coaching staff for all they have contributed. They will always be welcome here.
“We have a talented squad. We need to re-energise and look to deliver a positive season for our supporters.”
