Tottenham have parted company with manager Tim Sherwood after the club’s sixth-placed finish in the Premier League this season.
We agreed an 18-month contract with a break clause at the end of the season and we have now exercised that option,” said Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
Sherwood, 45, took over from Andre Villas-Boas in December and signed a deal to the end of the 2014-15 season.
“We shall embark on the process of finding a new head coach,” added Levy.
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax boss Frank de Boer have been linked with the post.
