Sheringham: Mourinho never accepted at Tottenham
Tottenham hero Teddy Sheringham admits he wasn’t surprised by the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
While some were stunned at the timing of Mourinho’s exit, Sheringham has said the sacking wasn’t a shock.
Sheringham told Gambling.com: “I wasn’t surprised by the decision, especially when you hear the little murmurs from behind the scenes suggesting it was more about money, that if they got into Europe they would find it harder to sack him because it would cost them even more money.

“But ultimately they’ve made the decision because they’ve felt he’s not the man to take Spurs forward. I’m not surprised by the situation, there’s been a lot of grumblings from the Tottenham fans.
“For a manager who has won so much, you would have thought he’d have gotten applauded into the club when he first came, but that was never the case. It just never felt like the right fit.
“There was a little spell where Jose’s light was shining again but it soon dimmed out and the Spurs fans were quite understanding that it wasn’t working.”
