A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new manager, the statement said.
Jose Mourinho's turbulent two-and-a-half-year tenure at Manchester United has come to an end after what has been the club's worst-ever start to a Premier League season. The announcement was made by the club in a short statement that thanked the former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid manager for his work and confirmed that a caretaker manager would be put in charge until the end of the 2018/19 season.
The 65-word statement read, "Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect. The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future. A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager."
The Daily Mail reported that Mourinho was seen arriving at Carrington just minutes before his sacking was announced, with his termination set to cost the club a hefty £22.5 million (Approximately 7.7Billion Naira) as United are not yet mathematically ruled out of a Champions League place for next season and have qualified for the round of 16 this season.
For now, the caretaker manager will have to navigate the hectic Christmas schedule and continue to fight for fourth place, as well as keep the club competitive in the FA Cup, and the Champions League, where they face Paris Saint-Germain in February and March.
