Nuno Espirito Santo sacked by Tottenham with Conte set to be drafted in as his replacement

Nuno Espirito Santo has been sacked by Tottenham after only four months in charge and Antonio Conte is now set to be drafted in as his replacement.

Nuno was appointed as the permanent successor to Jose Mourinho in June, with Spurs handing him an initial two-year contract.

That agreement has been terminated early in the wake of the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United, which leaves the north London outfit ten points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea after ten games.

What has been said?

An announcement on Spurs' website confirmed that Nuno, along with coaching staff Ian Cathro, Rui Barbosa and Antonio Dias, have all been relieved of their duties.
