Tottenham Hotspur on brink of sacking Nuno Espirito Santo?

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly on the brink of parting company with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

Having tried and failed to land several other candidates, chairman Daniel Levy eventually settled on appointing former Wolves boss Nuno in the summer.

Despite a strong start in the Premier League, the Portuguese has now lost five of 10 top flight games in charge of the North London outfit.

With the latest of those setbacks coming by a 3-0 scoreline against Manchester United on Saturday, Football Insider suggests that Nuno could be sacked before the end of the weekend.

The report claims that Levy and Nuno held talks on Sunday, reaching the conclusion that the club would go in a different direction.

Ryan Mason, who was placed in interim charge during the back end of the last campaign, is allegedly in line to take the reins on a temporary basis.
