Nuno Espirito Santo may be facing his last days as Tottenham coach. As reported by the English press, the position of the Portuguese coach is being evaluated by the leaders of the Spurs and a dismissal is not ruled out before the next game. After three victories in the first three days of the Premier League, the results have recently worsened: three defeats in the last four games and the increasingly widespread opinion that the situation cannot continue like this.
The last win at home against Manchester United (0-3) has accelerated the events. After the game, midfielder Hojbjerg was very critical to the television cameras: “Showing us like this is unacceptable, playing at home everything has to be fireworks and determination, it is better that he does not say much more “, referring to the tactics used by his team. But he is not the only dissatisfied with the level of the team. Mirror, Harry Kane has a “lukewarm relationship” with his coach, Ndombele is not happy that he was not a starter and two who until recently were important such as Winks and Dele Alli do not even make the squad lists. The general feeling, which is also pointed out in the English media, is that a large part of the staff does not believe in Nuno’s methods to redirect this crisis of results that he has Tottenham in 8th position, five points behind the Champions League.
Such is the case that the names of the possible candidates to replace Nuno Espirito Santo are sounding louder and louder. The most likely is Paulo Fonseca, who has been without a team since leaving Roma at the end of last season. The Portuguese coach was already very close to landing at White Hart Lane last June, but negotiations with the “Spurs” were frustrated by problems with taxes. However, several months later, he is back in pole position.
