Tottenham appoint Nuno after 72-day search for new boss
Tottenham's long search for a new boss is finally over after they appointed Nuno Espirito Santo.
It has been 72 days since they sacked Jose Mourinho on April 19 and a long and - at times chaotic - recruitment process has followed.
But the former Wolves boss has now got the job, signing a two-year deal at the north London club.
Nuno left Molineux at the end of last season and stays in the Premier League after incoming football managing director Fabio Paratici persuaded chairman Daniel Levy to give him the job.
Levy had some misgivings about the Portuguese's style of play at Wolves, having been so vocal about the need for a new manager to play "attacking" football, but is now convinced.
Levy said on the club's official website: "First of all, I'd like to welcome Nuno to the club. We should like to thank our supporters for all their patience throughout this process.
"I've spoken already about the need to revert back to our core DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football and Fabio and I believe Nuno is the man who can take our talented group of players, embrace our young players coming through and build something special."
Nuno will take the start of pre-season training on Monday, where players not involved in international football will return to the club.
Meanwhile, it is understood Manchester United have agreed a deal in principle to sign England winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for £72.9 million.
United have been heavily linked for several months with a big-money move for Sancho, who has been given the goahead by Dortmund to agree personal terms and complete a medical before joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
Sancho, a Manchester City academy product, left the north west to sign for Dortmund in August 2017 and has made 137 appearances in all competitions for the German club, scoring 50 goals.
It is understood the agreement between the clubs includes no add-ons for the 21-year-old attacker, currently on duty with England at Euro 2020, where he has made one substitute appearance so far.
