Mourinho now leads Premier League sack race after 2-1 defeat to West Ham

Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, is now leading the Premier League sack race following their dramatic slump in form, according to SportsMail.

Spurs have lost five of their last six league fixtures.

The North Londoners have also been dumped out of the FA Cup by Everton.

Mourinho’s lost 2-1 to West Ham on Sunday and that defeat has seen the Portuguese’s odds cut from 7/2 to 23/10 with both Betfair and Paddy Power.

A title challenge looked a possibility before Christmas but Spurs’ torrid run has seen them slump to ninth place, with even European qualification far from guaranteed.

They, however, have a chance at winning silverware, as they face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on April 25.

This week, the Spurs will take a healthy 4-1 lead into the second leg of their Europa League last-32 tie with Austrian club Wolfsberger this Wednesday.
