Nuno Espirito Santo’s reign as Tottenham Hotspur manager lasted just 17 matches, with the powers that be in north London deciding to go in a different direction just four months into the new campaign.
The Portuguese tactician got his tenure off to a flyer with that 1-0 win over Manchester City on matchday one in the Premier League, but that triumph over the reigning champions has since proven a flash in the pan, with results flattering to deceive post-August.
Rumours that Espirito Santo would face the chopping block became rife after his side suffered a chastening 3-0 reversal to Manchester United on home soil at the weekend, and that speculation has been made reality on Monday morning, with the club confirming his dismissal.
Talk now turns as to who will succeed Espirito Santo in the Spurs hotseat, with former Inter Milan, Chelsea and Juventus manager Antonio Conte an early favourite among bookmakers to make an astonishing Premier League return. But who else is in the running?
