Tottenham: Nuno Espirito Santo's in-tray as new boss must sort out Harry Kane's future

After what has felt like football's most farcical search for a new manager, Tottenham have finally found the man to succeed Jose Mourinho.

Julian Nagelsmann, Brendan Rodgers, Erik ten Hag, Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte, Paulo Fonseca, Gennaro Gattuso and Julien Lopetegui had all been linked with the vacancy in the space of a whirlwind 72 days. Finally, Spurs landed on Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Portuguese, 47, arrives as the club's ninth choice manager to take the gig, but the softly-spoken former goalkeeper will be confident that he has what it takes to get the underperforming north Londoners back up the league table.
