Tottenham have announced Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager but the reaction from Spurs fans has underlined the battle he faces in convincing them he is the right man to succeed Jose Mourinho. Nuno has signed a contract until 2023 having been officially unveiled tonight as the man tasked with leading Spurs back to the Champions League next season. But many feel he was the last resort for Tottenham who had spoken to Antonio Conte while Julian Nagelsmann, Gennaro Gattuso, Mauricio Pochettino were also linked. Nuno, who left Wolves at the end of last season, will work under director of football Fabio Paratici and Spurs chairman
Daniel Levy said: “First of all, I’d like to welcome Nuno to the club. We should like to thank our supporters for all their patience throughout this process. I’ve spoken already about the need to revert back to our core DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football and Fabio and I believe Nuno is the man who can take our talented group of players, embrace our young players coming through and build something special.”
Spurs fans were quick to respond to the announcement and many were underwhelmed by the appointment.
