It took Tottenham 72 days to appoint Nuno Espirito Santo in June 2021 after sacking Jose Mourinho. Less than two years later they find themselves back where they started, watching the days pass by as they look for someone to replace Antonio Conte.
In fairness, the club's caution is understandable given how disastrous Nuno's tenure proved to be. The Portuguese manager lasted only four months before he was shown the door.
Ensuring they make the right appointment is vital after a dismal campaign that saw Spurs finish outside the European places, but let's not pretend the last two months has been some sort of masterplan from Tottenham's hierarchy.
