Nuno Espirito Santo has been unveiled as the new manager of Tottenham. He replaces Jose Mourinho who was sacked back in April.

The Portuguese incumbent takes on the vacancy until 2023. He will start the job immediately and aim to restore the club to its glory days.

The 47-year-old spent four years with Wolves. During his time there he won promotion from the Championship and helped the club claim a place in the Europa League.

He left the club after an indifferent run of form. Espirito Santo did, however, achieve a win ratio of 47.4% from his 199 games in charge of the club.

The boss has also managed Rio Ave, Valencia and Porto. He has managed to get the job after impressing Fabio Paratici, who fancies his attacking style of football.

Tottenham finished seventh last season. Espirito Santo will aim to improve upon that and lead the club back into the big European competitions.
