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.

It has been reported that Tottenham Hotspurs are in talks with former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte to take over the reigns at the club.
