Tottenham Hotspur sacked their manager Andre Villas-Boas yesterday morning after he held crunch talks with chairman Daniel Levy and technical director Franco Baldini, and it has been reported that the Portuguese was fired due to refusing to play striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
The Togo international was completely forgotten about at White Hart Lane by Villas-Boas and was even demoted to training with the developmental squad instead of the first-team.
Then after Roberto Soldado and Jermain Defoe struggled to score regularly in the Premier League, the manager still refused to turn to Adebayor and still left him out of match-day squads, something that both Levy and Baldini didn’t agree with.
Apparently in the crunch talks that took place on Monday morning, Boas was asked whether or not he will start playing Adebayor more often in search for more goals, and his refusal cost him his job.
It is believed that Levy and Baldini were not happy with Villas-Boas’ refusal to budge on the topic, and for that reason, he was fired.
