Julian Nagelsmann, Brendan Rodgers, Antonio Conte, Paulo Fonseca, Maurizio Sarri, Massimiliano Allegri, Julen Lopetegui, Nuno Espirito Santo, Graham Potter, Roberto Martinez, Maurizio Pochettino, Scot Parker, Gennaro Gattuso, Erik ten Hag….and we surely left somebody out. Since sacking Jose Mourinho in mid-April, Tottenham were considering 14 candidates, and negotiated with around six of them for the vacant managerial post, and in the end, they came back for Nuno Espirito Santo, and got him in their second attempt. They switched one Portuguese with another, and Santo signed a two year deal to become the next Spurs boss, after leaving the Wolverhampton post earlier. 😁 #WelcomeNuno pic.twitter.com/YhPNTjqfsm— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) June 30, 2021 The agony of fans has ended, but another one is starting: they don’t want Espirito Santo. In fact, he was the only managerial candidate who has his own hashtag #notonuno as the fans feel he is an average coach, not good enough for the club who needs to win trophies. “When you have a squad with quality and talent, we want to make the fans proud and enjoy. It’s an enormous pleasure and honour to be here, there’s joy and I’m happy and looking forward to starting work. We don’t have any days to lose and we must start working immediately as pre-season starts in a few days” said Santo after signing his contract. We wait 9 week and end up with NUNO #NoToNuno pic.twitter.com/4tQwaEwroq— mitchell (@thfcmitchell) June 24, 2021 And what about Daniel Levy, the Spurs director, who sacked Pochettino, then brought Jose Mourinho, then sacked him, and tried to get Pochettino again?”First of all, I’d like to welcome Nuno to the club. We should like to thank our supporters for all their patience throughout this process. I’ve spoken already about the need to revert back to our core DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football and Fabio and I believe Nuno is the man who can take our talented group of players, embrace our young players coming through and build something special” said the Spurs supremo to the club’s website.
