The Italian has left Spurs by mutual consent after 16 months in charge.
His assistant Cristian Stellini has been named as interim head coach for the rest of the campaign.
The 53-year-old branded his players ‘selfish’, and savaged the club’s culture, in the wake of Tottenham’s 3-3 draw at relegation-threatened Southampton in their last league game before the international break.
The north London club are fourth in the Premier League, but have been knocked out of all cup competitions.
In a statement posted on Tottenham’s website, chairman Daniel Levy said: “We have ten Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place. We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our club and amazing, loyal supporters.”
