Tottenham lost 5-0 to Liverpool on Sunday.
Tottenham have sacked their manager, Andre Villas-Boas.
The 36-year-old Portuguese joined Tottenham in July 2012.
Tottenham announced the exit of the manager in a statement on Monday.
“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,” the club said.
Tottenham have had a poor run of results this season with the 0-5 home loss to Liverpool being the decider for the club hierarchy. The loss was the club’s worst at home in 16 years. A few weeks earlier, Tottenham had also lost 0- 6 at Manchester City.
Tottenham are currently seventh, 8 points behind Premier League leaders, Arsenal.
Prior to joining Tottenham, Villas-Boas had also coached Chelsea where he was sacked after just eight months in charge.
The London club said they had not taken a decision on who would become Villas-Boas successor.
“We wish Andre well for the future,” added the Spurs statement. “We shall make a further announcement in due course.”
