Jamie Redknapp says there is a major problem at Tottenham and believes Nuno Espirito Santo was set up to fail at the club.
The trigger was pulled by Daniel Levy on Nuno on Monday morning after an uninspiring start to the season. Saturday’s 3-0 home defeat by Manchester United was Spurs’ fifth Premier League defeat in 10 games. It proved enough for Levy with the Spurs chairman now looking for their 14th managerial appointment of ENIC’s 20-year reign.
And former Spurs midfielder Redknapp says former Wolves boss Nuno was left “naked” after being only the club’s “fifth or sixth choice”.
“When you keep getting managers in and sacking managers and getting a squad like you have…. The problem Nuno had as a manager was when you are a club of Tottenham’s stature, you need to get your first choice, you do not miss out,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.
“And if you do not get your first choice, you get your second, but Nuno was their fifth, sixth choice in the end. So to a certain extent, he goes into that changing room naked and you are in a very difficult position from the start.
