Spurs Fire Nuno

After suffering a 0-3 defeat in the hands of Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspurs has fired their coach, Nuno Espirito Santos.

After a blistering start to the season, which saw Spurs defeat defending champions, Manchester City by a lone goal, they have lost their last five matches.

Nuno has not done well for Tottenham Hotspurs as the statistics released by the BBC shows:

  • Nuno is just the second Spurs manager to lose as many as five of his first 10 Premier League games in charge of the club, after Christian Gross in 1997-98;

  • Tottenham have not had a shot on target in their last two hours and 16 minutes of football, since Harry Kane’s effort in the 44th minute against West Ham;

  • Saturday’s defeat by Manchester United was the first time Spurs have failed to have a shot on target in a Premier League home game since December 2013;

  • Spurs have already lost two Premier League home games by at least three goals this season – they’d only lost by such a margin at home once in the seven previous campaigns combined;

  • They are on their longest run without a clean sheet since a run of 10 between September and December 2019.
