The club obviously has no more patience for him, and the last straw for the owners and management of the club was the defeat by Manchester United last weekend.
While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemed to be the manager most in danger before the game between Tottenham and Manchester United, it was ultimately the former Wolverhampton manager who paid the price.
Fabio Paratici, Managing Director, Football, said for the official Tottenham site: “I know how much Nuno and his coaching staff wanted to succeed and I regret that we have had to take this decision.
“Nuno is a true gentleman and will always be welcome here. We should like to thank him and his coaching staff and wish them well for the future.”
Although there are no comments from the club about who could succeed Espirito Santo, the media is already “bringing” Antonio Conte to that position, duly referring to Fabricio Romano, who reminded that Conte was Tottenham’s wish last summer when the agreement was not reached.
Antonio Conte is ready to accept Tottenham proposal. Talks underway and understood to be ‘at final stages’ – salary and long term contract discussed but he seems convinced to say ‘yes’. ⚪️?? #THFC
