Nuno Espirito Santo admits his first 100 days in charge of Tottenham have been like a roller-coaster and he lives ‘day-by-day’.
The 47-year-old replaced Jose Mourinho as Spurs’ permanent manager on June 30. He had left Wolves the previous month, with his four years at Molineux establishing the West Midlanders as a Premier League club. Other names were mentioned to take the job but they eventually settled for the Portuguese.
And things began well as the north Londoners beat champions Manchester City in their season opener. They won their first three league games 1-0 but then lost the next three before beating Aston Villa 2-1 ahead of the international break.
The jury is still out on Nuno, with a few pundits suggesting he is already on borrowed time. It remains to be seen if that is the case but it has certainly not been easy for the former Porto boss.
