Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is apparently a major fan of Wolves manager Nuno, and could use pick him to replace Jose Mourinho.
The Express claim that Nuno is an option for Tottenham, as Levy has been very impressed by the job that Nuno has done at Wolves.
The Portuguese boss guided Wolves to promotion from the Championship and has since stabilised them as a Premier League club.
Although Wolves haven’t had great success this term, his past achievements mean that he is still apparently one of the leading candidates to take over at Tottenham.
Mourinho’s future at Spurs is now very uncertain, with the Lilywhites performing well below expectations this season.
If Tottenham do not turn around their Premier League form rapidly, it is difficult to see how Mourinho stays at the club – unless he is able to win the League Cup final later this month.
Tottenham have been linked with a whole host of managers already, but it seems that Nuno could be near the top of their list of candidates.
Interestingly Nuno actually played under Mourinho when he was at Porto.
Nuno has spoken very positively about how Mourinho is an ‘inspiration’ to him previously (Fotmob), and the Tottenham boss’s influence on his style is evident.
Nuno generally sets his sides out very solidly, although they are not always the most enthralling to watch.
That would be one question mark which would occur from any potential appointment at Spurs, with fans of the North London club surely hoping for a more entertaining brand of football to watch, if they do switch managers.
The Express claim that Spurs would have to pay £8 million in compensation to Wolves, if they do make a move for their manager.
