Which managers have turned down Spurs this summer?
Tottenham's dragged out hunt for a new manager has been a gruelling process and the board have been linked with countless targets throughout the summer.
Sky Sports revealed that Spurs have held talks with Antonio Conte, PSG's Mauricio Pochettino, Paulo Fonseca, Gennaro Gattuso and Sevilla's Julen Lopetegui to name a few.
According to the Guardian in April, RB Leipzig's Julian Nagelsmann had been prominent on their list of targets, however he opted to take the reins at Bayern Munich to replace Hansi Flick.
Levy was also interested in signing Flick this summer according to The Telegraph in May, however he seems to be out of the running as it stands.
Can Nuno be a success at Tottenham?
He could be a success at Tottenham, however there are question marks over his style of play and whether or not the fans would be receptive to his footballing methods.
There are similarities between Nuno and Jose Mourinho as the pair both set their sides up in a defensive manner. For much of the 2020/21 Premier League campaign the Portuguese boss played predominantly with three central defenders and two wing-backs in his Wolves side.
Nuno's former club only managed 36 goals in 38 league games and despite their defensive structure, Wolves conceded 52 goals in the Premier League this term. It is worth mentioning that Nuno's side were without their goal scoring talisman Raul Jimenez, who had scored 17 league goals last season, for much of the campaign.
Nonetheless, Wolves have had less than 50% average possession in each Premier League campaign under Nuno and this term his team ranked just tenth in the division for shots per game with an average of 12.2.
