Tottenham would sack Nuno if Mauricio Pochettino becomes available

Tottenham look at Nuno replacements

Nuno Espirito Santo was named as Tottenham manager over the summer, replacing now AS Roma boss, Jose Mourinho.

The former Wolves boss had the perfect start to life in north London, picking up an opening weekend win over Premier League champions, Manchester City.

This was followed by 1-0 wins over Wolves and Watford, results which left the Lilywhites sitting pretty atop of the Premier League ahead of the September international break.

Spurs’ results since, however, have been pretty dismal, especially in the league.

Tottenham have lost their last three Premier League games to Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal – conceding three goals in each game.

On the back of this decline, it has been reported that Spurs are already looking at potential replacements for the Portuguese:

Tottenham still keen on Pochettino

One manager Tottenham are seemingly keeping tabs on is Mauricio Pochettino.

After being sacked by Spurs, the Argentine has since taken up the role as PSG boss and now has the pleasure of managing all of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

Pochettino would also recently pick up a huge 2-0 win over Manchester City in the Champions League.

Should his PSG stint ever come to an end, though, it seems the Lilywhites are eager to bring their former boss, who took them to the 2019 Champions League final, back to north London.

The Daily Mail, citing reports from elsewhere in England, write that Spurs want Pochettino to return as manager and would sack Nuno if Poch became available:

Tottenham reportedly still want Mauricio Pochettino to return as manager and would sack Nuno Espirito Santo if he became available.
