Andre Villas-Boas has been sacked as Tottenham Hotspur manager following the 5-0 defeat against Liverpool at White Hart Lane.
A statement said: 'The Club can announce that agreement has been reached with Head Coach, Andre Villas-Boas, for the termination of his services.
'The decision was by mutual consent and in the interests of all parties.
'We wish Andre well for the future. We shall make a further announcement in due course.'
Villas-Boas plummeted in the betting markets for next Premier League manager to be shown the door after the defeat, which came just three weeks after the 6-0 thrashing at Manchester City.
Levy is already lining up a successor to Villas-Boas - possibly in the form of a temporary manager.
The Spurs chairman is understood to be sounding out potential replacements and Sportsmail has learnt that the Tottenham chairman favours an experienced coach with World Cup pedigree.
Fabio Capello, who was at White Hart Lane on Sunday performing TV duties, out-of-work Gus Hiddink and Glenn Hoddle and three high-profile names in the frame, although Spurs may not be able to convince the former to come back into the thrust of club management.
