Tottenham sack Nuno; Antonio Conte in talks to replace him

After just 17 matches in charge, Tottenham have sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.

Spurs spent more than two month's looking for a replacement for Jose Mourinho. But just 124 days after appointing Nuno as his replacement, they've let him go and are now back to square one.

During his short lived career at Spurs, Nuno managed just 17 matches - winning 9, drawing 1, and losing 7. The squad under Nuno have also only scored 9 goals in 10 league games, mostly brought about by the fact key striker Harry Kane has been underperforming. Last season's Golden Boot winner has scored only once in nine league appearances this season.

It's widely reported that Antonio Conte is expected to take the helm at the North London club. It would mark a return to the Premier League after previously leading Chelsea to the 2017 title before leaving a year later.

Tottenham currently sit eighth in the Premier League.
