Andre Villas-Boas has launched a scathing attack on Daniel Levy - and accused the Tottenham Hotspur chairman of being an "expert in sacking managers".
The former Spurs boss claimed that Levy had a habit for having an itchy trigger finger after handing Villas-Boas his P45 in December 2013 - just 17 months into the Portuguese's tenure at White Hart Lane.
Villas-Boas had the highest Premier League win ratio of any Tottenham manager at the time of his departure, and had also guided the Lilywhites to six victories out of six in their then-Europa League campaign.

However, heavy defeats to Manchester City (6-0) and Liverpool (5-0) led the former Zenit St. Petersburg gaffer from being given his marching orders by Levy - a decision that evidently still rankles with Villas-Boas.
He said: Daniel Levy is an expert in sacking managers. There's no time for long term projects in the Premier League.�
Villas-Boas also commented on another of his ill-fated spells in England - his nine-month spell at the helm of Chelsea - and believed that he was far too young to take charge of the Londoners at the time.
The ex-Academia manager was just 33-years-old when he was handed a three-year deal to become the new boss at Stamford Bridge in June 2011, and was viewed as a worthy successor to Jose Mourinho.
However, Villas-Boas only lasted until March 2012 before Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich sacked him, and the now 38-year-old says it was his lack of top-flight experience that ultimately cost him, despite being the youngest manager to win a European competition with another former club in Porto.
He added: The Chelsea experience was too much too soon.
"I wasn't flexible as a manager at that time. I was communicative, but I wasn't flexible in my approach. At Tottenham I learnt to be different.
In professional football you have to live the day-to-day. The objective is the group performance, but every single individual requires a different response from a manager “ you can't be the same person to each player.
"At Chelsea the group was more important, I stuck to my methods too much.�
