Mourinho will receive compensation package from Spurs of up to £20m

REVEALED: Jose Mourinho will walk away from Tottenham with a HUGE compensation package worth up to £20MILLION despite being sacked by Daniel Levy after less than 18 months in charge

  • Tottenham have sacked manager Jose Mourinho following a poor run of results 
  • The Portuguese and his coaching staff have left after 17 months in charge 
  • Mourinho should receive a compensation package worth up to the £20m mark 
  • The package won’t go over £20m due to performance related clauses in his contract linked to European qualification and his £10m-a-season salary

Jose Mourinho will leave Tottenham with significantly less than the widely purported £30million compensation package he was said to be due.

Sources claim the Portuguese’s package will not go over £20million due to performance related clauses in his contract linked to European qualification and his £10million-a-season salary.

Mourinho will be placed on gardening leave by Tottenham despite his dismissal meaning Spurs will continue to pay him as normal until he finds new employment meaning, in reality, his severance package will likely be up to £20million.

Sportsmail has been highlighting since February that Mourinho would not be in charge of the club next season – and the decision to axe Special One arrived on Monday morning.

Sources claim the turgid performance in the 2-2 draw at Everton on Friday was the final straw.

His future has been increasingly uncertain following a difficult run that has seen them slide down the league table and exit both the FA Cup and Europa League.

The axe has been brought down on Mourinho with Tottenham set to miss out on the top four

It has been reported that the Special One would be entitled to at least £30million in a payout if he lost his job.

But that is not the case due to the fact Spurs are seventh in the Premier League, effectively meaning Mourinho is not entitled to his full compensation.

Likewise, initial indications that the Portuguese was earning £15million a season are said to be exaggerated, with Mourinho’s basic wage closer to £10million, which significantly decreases his severance deal.
