NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO BECOMES NEW TOTTENHAM MANAGER

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach on a two-year deal.

The 47-year-old arrives at Spurs after a successful four-year spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

“When you have a squad with quality and talent, we want to make the fans proud and enjoy,” Nuno told Spurs’ official website.

“It’s an enormous pleasure and honour [to be here], there’s joy and I’m happy and looking forward to starting work. We don’t have any days to lose and we must start working immediately as pre-season starts in a few days.”

Nuno led Wolves to the Championship title in his first season in charge, before recording back-to-back seventh-placed finishes in the Premier League, the highest the club have achieved in the competition.

He oversaw Wolves’ first European campaign for 39 years, taking them to the quarter-finals of the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League, where they lost 1-0 to eventual winners Sevilla.

He has been named the Barclays Manager of the Month on three occasions.

Nuno’s first match in the dugout will be a home fixture against Manchester City on Sunday 15 August.
