NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO could be sacked as manager of Tottenham today, according to reports.
Talks over his future are taking place and Daniel Levy could make yet another managerial change, having only appointed the Portuguese in the summer.
The Telegraph report that discussions have been prompted by Spurs’ 3-0 loss to Manchester United, in which they failed to record a shot on target.
Tensions boiled over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with fan anger directed towards Nuno.
Supporters booed his decision to substitute Lucas Moura, and the full-time whistle was met with more jeers.
And although Nuno guided Spurs to the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup with a win over Burnley, fans yesterday chanted ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ at their manager.
More disgruntled chants were aimed at the board – with calls for chairman Levy to go.
After all, it was Levy who appointed Nuno after failing to land several other candidates, including Antonio Conte and Paulo Fonseca.

When asked about his future after the match, Nuno said: “I am only thinking about the next game and the next training session. There are not words that will solve the situation.
“When they [the fans] don’t see the team play the way they expect they are going to boo.
“I believe the players are better than that and it’s up to us to change the mood.”
“I think we are better than what we showed today … I believe we have the talent to do it.
“When things don’t work out the confidence is what goes away. We have to regain it by actions.”
