LONDON (AP) — Premier League club Tottenham has fired manager Tim Sherwood less than five months into his first coaching job.
The Premier League club says it has exercised the end-of-season break clause in Sherwood’s 18-month contract.
The inexperienced Englishman was promoted within the north London club in December after Andre Villas-Boas was fired.
Tottenham finished sixth in the league on Sunday to qualify for the Europa League.
