Friday’s 2-2 draw at Everton proved to be the final straw, and just days ahead of the Carabao Cup final, Spurs have parted ways with Mourinho.
Tottenham must now look to find a replacement, and whilst Mourinho wasn’t exactly popular with fans by the end, one player has posted an emotional goodbye.
Winger Lucas Moura became a favourite of Mourinho almost immediately. His strong work ethic and defensive effort meant he featured prominently under the Portuguese coach.

Mourinho clearly trusted Moura, even utilising him as a left-sided wing back against Everton on Friday night.
Moura has now taken to Instagram, posting a heartfelt message to Mourinho whilst thanking him for everything he has done for him.
“Thank you Mister for this period of full learning and professional and personal growth. I am very grateful to you and your coaching staff. I have no words to describe the honour and pride I feel for working with you. May God bless you in your next challenge, I will always be rooting for you.”
Mourinho responded with a single love heart emoji, appreciating the winger’s words as he now prepares for his next challenge.
