Manager Nuno Espírito Santo

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
yeah i love this hire cause he does charity work, lets ignore the shit football in the meantime
He"ll be doing his preseason in Manchester. I just hope we replace him with Thuram and Vlahovic. Not Silva.
My honest view is … “meh”.
This round will end in tears. The odd promising victory. Hopes and dreams of glory. All shattered. Lose at home to Brentford after beating someone decent etc etc.
We’ll finish 7th, sack him and then restart another crazy search for some incredible Messiah who will miraculously turn us into winners.
We’re like the Old Testament Hebrews: lots of hope and delusions of grandeur… and lots of never ending failure.

You can't yet say we are in a crisis but I would go so far as to say cris....

All you need to know about Levy and Lewis is that Conte is on the market and we are going with Nuno.
All you need to know is that Conte already turned us down.
Finally a full list ofAre the 23 of you who voted yes just trolling, or do you actually think this is a good appointment? If so, I'd genuinely be very curious to hear why.

Because Levy/Lewis don't match the ambition of a manager like Conte, but they do Nuno. Hence "all you need to know." I can't believe I actually had to spell this out ffs.
It looks like it's happening so I'll back him. Fuck that twitter campaign.
Fucking hell we're turning into the gooners.
29 as of now. Not my first choice by a long shot but neither was Poch back when. He's not a crap manager and he's not macho twatissimo like Gattuso so certainly doesn't deserve that toxic reaction that's stinking up twitter.Are the 23 of you who voted yes just trolling, or do you actually think this is a good appointment? If so, I'd genuinely be very curious to hear why.

In all honesty Nuno was pretty far down the list of candidates I wanted at the start of the window, but realistically this manager search had descended into complete farce over the last few weeks with the likes of Fonseca and Gattuso.
Would be far from a disaster at this stage in proceedings.

Nuno's Wolves exit: Almost sacked in January, players questioning approach but ‘emotions will overflow' when he goes
Here's the juice we all want to hear:
A source close to the club says: “There has been a few problems there since October. Players were questioning things about Nuno’s approach. He didn’t lose the dressing room, but they were wondering whether he was as good of a manager as people were making out. There’s a real lack of structure and leadership there, too. Kevin Thelwell (the former sporting director) was very good at bringing departments together, he was very good at managing processes, but things haven’t run as smoothly since.
“It goes as far down as bringing together the medical team and the players, basic things that used to be very clear in the past.”
...
Recruitment had also been an issue. Nuno had the final say on new signings and tended to side with Mendes options rather than those put forward by the in-house recruitment team, often against their advice. For example, Spanish international Dani Olmo was available in January 2020 but Nuno sided with Mendes client Daniel Podence from Olympiakos instead, with Olmo going to RB Leipzig.

Has any source says he's been offered the job? Everything I've seen just says in serious talks or advanced talks.
