Jose Mourinho is set to pocket £15million from his Tottenham sacking, according to The Sun.

The Portuguese chief, 58, was given the boot by Spurs on Monday amid a horror 2021.

Tottenham’s hopes of landing a top-four spot continued to crumble following a 2-2 draw with Everton.

And having already crashed out of the Europa League at the last-16 stage – having thrown away a 2-0 first-leg lead to Dinamo Zagreb – Mourinho’s days were already looking numbered.

But his sacking came at an odd time – just hours after the announcement the club were taking part in the controversial European Super League AND less than a week before their Carabao Cup final vs Man City.

Nevertheless, chairman Daniel Levy opted to part ways with Mourinho.

After missing out on the title in the 2006-07 season, Mourinho was on thin ice after his constant clashes with the board.

Roman Abramovich finally had enough of the Special One after a poor start to the season – encapsulated in a shock draw at home to Norwegian minnows Rosenborg.

The Russian billionaire eventually paid Mourinho £18m to walk away from Stamford Bridge.

And early reports claim the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United chief will be awarded around £15m in compensation.

It means the Portuguese boss has now raked in a staggering £77.5m in sacking payouts alone.
