Manchester United have sacked Portuguese manager José Mourinho after 2.5 years at the club.
Mourinho has won the Europa League and the League Cup during his time at Old Trafford, but with the club sitting in 6th place in the Premier League, 19 points off leaders Liverpool, the decision to terminate the Portuguese coach's deal has been taken.
"A caretaker-manager will be appointed until the end of the season while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager," United said in a statement.
"The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future."
