Nuno Espirito Santo’s dismissal comes after Tottenham lost 3-0 at home to Manchester United, their fourth defeat in six Premier League games; Spurs in advanced talks with Antonio Conte as they seek a fourth permanent manager in the last three years.

Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, who Spurs targeted before appointing Nuno in the summer, has been offered an 18-month deal by Tottenham and will fly into London for face-to-face talks on Monday, according to Sky in Italy.

Negotiations with the Italian, who has been out of work since leaving Inter Milan in the summer, are understood to be in their final stages.

Tottenham is eighth in the Premier League, 10 points off leaders Chelsea, after the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.

Nuno, 47, signed a two-year contract in June following a protracted search to find Jose Mourinho’s successor, with his tenure lasting just beyond four months and a total of only 17 games.

A Spurs statement said: “The club can today announce that Nuno Espirito Santo and his coaching staff Ian Cathro, Rui Barbosa and Antonio Dias have been relieved of their duties.

Spurs managing director of football Fabio Paratici added: “I know how much Nuno and his coaching staff wanted to succeed and I regret that we have had to take this decision.

“Nuno is a true gentleman and will always be welcome here. We should like to thank him and his coaching staff and wish them well for the future.”

Tottenham fans booed Nuno’s decision to replace Lucas Moura with Steven Bergwijn in the second half of the defeat to United, which followed last weekend’s Premier League loss at West Ham.

Sections of the Spurs support also chanted “we want Levy out”, with England captain Harry Kane, who expressed his desire to leave the club during the summer, also a target of frustration for some fans. [Skysports]
