Tottenham set to launch Nuno Espirito Santo bid as Spurs eye Portuguese over Graham Potter

Former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is now the ‘serious leading candidate’ to become the next Tottenham Hotspur manager, according to reports. Nuno left Wolves at the end of the 2020/21 season and was linked to the Everton job, but now appears to be in line to become Jose Mourinho’s successor at Spurs.
Tottenham’s search for a new manager has taken several twists and turns since Mourinho and his staff were sacked on April 19.
Chairman Daniel Levy originally targeted Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers and Ajax coach Erik Ten Hag, but neither showed much interest in the role.
Spurs flirted with former manager Mauricio Pochettino before having talks with former Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte, ex-Roma manager Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso after he left Fiorentina.
Levy and director of technical performance Steve Hitchen have veered this way and that over the past two months, with the appointment of Fabio Paratici as director of football further muddying the waters.
