On a morning where the entire future of football was set to change forever, Jose Mourinho still managed to steal the headlines.
The iconic Portuguese manager was dismissed as Tottenham manager on Monday morning just six days before the club play in the Carabao Cup final - following a run of just one win in their last six games in all competitions.
While Spurs' recent form could point to why Spurs owner Daniel Levy opted to make the decision to sack Mourinho after 17 months in charge - the writing was on the wall Portuguese coach for several months.
