The membership at the moment are seventh within the English prime-flight and have to make up appreciable floor to nonetheless qualify for the Champions League. The membership additionally suffered a shock early exit within the Europa League by the hands of Dinamo Zagreb.
Where did it go so incorrect for Spurs?
It looks like a managerial change may very well be wanted in north London and Tottenham are reportedly already eyeing a replacement for Mourinho.
According to the Daily Express, Spurs are enthusiastic about Wolves supervisor Santo.
Daniel Levy is seemingly a significant fan of the Premier League gaffer, who has managed to take the Molineux outfit from the Championship to the Europa League.
However, the query is, ought to Santo be Spurs’ subsequent supervisor?
GIVEMESPORT’s Tom Kelly, Jonathan Gorrie, Sam Brookes, and Josh Cole provide their verdicts beneath…
Tom Kelly
“Santo is able to take the subsequent step.
“The Portuguese supervisor has been extremely profitable with Wolves, guiding the membership out of the Championship and securing again-to-again seventh-place finishes throughout their first two seasons again within the Premier League.
“This additionally feels considerably paying homage to Mauricio Pochettino’s appointment, albeit Nuno using a really completely different fashion of soccer, by hiring a international supervisor who has proved himself with a lesser group and is now able to make the leap to a much bigger aspect.
“This is Santo’s probability to determine himself as a very prime-class supervisor.”
Jonathan Gorrie
“Absolutely not, Daniel Levy’s misplaced the plot with this concept.
“As spectacular as Wolves have been, Nuno Espirito Santo’s fashion of play merely is not suited to a group such as Spurs.
“Indeed, the jarring a part of Mourinho’s appointment was the truth that Mauricio Pochettino had constructed a excessive-vitality aspect, one thing not precisely synonymous with the self-proclaimed ‘Special One.’
“While maybe not as dour as his countryman, Nuno’s fashion is all about counter-attacking, as he defined to Sky Sports. Clearly, that could be a viable method to win video games however Spurs have a practice of a specific model of soccer initially etched by Bill Nicholson.
“Given the scale of the funding within the enjoying squad, Spurs must purpose for greater than stealing wins on the break.”
Sam Brookes
“What’s the purpose?
“One of the primary criticisms of Mourinho this season has been his detrimental fashion of play, with Spurs seemingly joyful to take a seat again and take in stress earlier than making an attempt to hit groups on the counter-assault.
“Santo makes use of an analogous strategy at Wolves, counting on the likes of Adama Traore and Pedro Neto to burst forwards at tempo.
“If Tottenham are going to alter their supervisor this summer season, they need to go for somebody with a unique mindset to Mourinho. This means bringing in a coach who will attempt to get his group to play on the entrance foot and with depth, like we noticed Spurs do below Pochettino.
“Replacing one security-first supervisor with one other appears a waste of time, and is unlikely to maneuver Spurs up the desk in a rush.”
Josh Cole
“Having been the architect behind Wolves’ rise to prominence in recent times, Nuno would be the reply to Tottenham’s woes as the membership have in the end did not push on below the steering of Mourinho.
“Having led his membership to the Europa League final 12 months, the 47-12 months-previous’s progress this season has been hampered by the unlucky absence of Raul Jimenez who has confirmed to be a spectacular buy.
“Indeed, whereas Mourinho’s resolution to draft within the likes of Steven Bergwijn and Matt Doherty has in the end did not repay, Nuno’s shrewd switch enterprise boosted by the membership’s hyperlinks with Jorge Mendes has remodeled Wolves’ fortunes as Jimenez, Ruben Neves and Rui Patricio have all excelled at Premier League stage to call only a few.
“Clearly Nuno is aware of the right way to get the very best out of the expertise Mendes’ hyperlinks can afford him and if he is in a position to get a number of of these by the door at Spurs as a substitute of Molineux, Levy might quickly have a number of masterstroke signings on his palms.”
