Mourinho guided Tottenham to sixth last season.
His last game was a 2-2 draw on Friday against Everton that left Tottenham, Champions League finalists in 2019, in seventh place in the Premier League and unlikely to reach the top four.
Mourinho took charge in November 2019, replacing Mauricio Pochettino. Tottenham face a League Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho is fired. He is the first of the European Super League managers to lose their job.
