Nuno Espirito Santo has emerged as a contender to replace Jose Mourinho as Tottenham manager, according to reports.
Mourinho is under pressure at Spurs amid a poor run of form that could see the club fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Sunday’s 3-1 defeat by Manchester United increased the pressure on Mourinho, who has been in charge of the club for less than two years.
The Portuguese has the chance to win Tottenham’s first trophy since 2008 when they face Manchester City in the League Cup final later this month.
However, that is Spurs’ last chance of silverware this season following premature exits from the FA Cup and the Europa League.
A failure to qualify for the Champions League would be a major blow to Tottenham’s finances, while Harry Kane will reportedly consider his future if Spurs miss out on Europe’s foremost club competition for a second season on the bounce.
Chairman Daniel Levy could review the manager’s position in the summer, with the Daily Express reporting that Nuno is among his list of potential replacements for Mourinho.
