Nuno Espirito Santo has been sacked by Tottenham after just four months in charge.
Tottenham’s depressing loss to Manchester United on Saturday proved a fatal blow to Nuno’s hopes of staying in charge.
Prior to Saturday’s feeble performance, Sportsmail understands that removing Nuno from his position as head coach had not been formally discussed by chairman Daniel Levy and other key figures despite the club’s mediocre start to the campaign.
However, the team’s underperformance has been a concern among the club’s hierarchy for several weeks.
