Jose Mourinho has jumped to the defence of his sacked successor at Tottenham Nuno Espirito Santo - hinting that his compatriot deserved more than 'a few months' in charge.
Nuno was relieved of his duties as Spurs boss on Monday after just 10 league games in charge, with Spurs winning five and losing five since the former Wolves boss became the first full-time Tottenham coach since Mourinho's sacking in April.
The Special One, who coached Nuno as a player at FC Porto before becoming a Premier League rival with his compatriot, appeared to hint that his former goalkeeper needed more time at Spurs to fulfill a similar project to one he had at Wolves.
