Nuno Espírito Santo appointed new Head Coach

[myhartlane]

I have a feeling he will exceed expectations.

Wouldn't be difficult.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Meh. Marginally better appointment than Martinez. Hope he surprises

[RJR1949]

He comes across as a decent human being…… and that in itself is a big step up on the previous guy.

I hope Nuno is a roaring success so we can finally get over fucking Poch tbh

Yep. And funny thing is, poch’s trajectory with us was similar to Nuno’s at wolves, albeit at a level above because of squad. People choose to forget poch’s record in his last year with us but Nuno’s last year is all they focus on with him, forgetting the years of over performing success he brought before that.

 

[WhiteHeartLowe]

I would have preferred Benitez, I am surprised his name was never mentioned in connection with the job.

 

[Real_madyidd]

May I be the first to welcome you with the traditional Spurs support?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[MassadaTom]

Reasonably optimistic as always, especially with DoF.
Iam happy that my avatar change helped.
nES seems like honest bloke with true grit.
Feel that I can support him as our manager.We will see how he looks in lilly white , thou beard stays.
Not my direction and not my preferred type of football but I get why Paratici prefers it.

ps.Is there a place on forum to challenge potential bans? Is there a way to check if you are banned or penalised?

Will be in the main the sports science guys/medical team same as every other year.

Oh no same medical team.... thats us screwed then, really wish we got new medical and sport science guys.

Why ? Geoff Scott is hugely respected. Really impressive and has done a lot of work on improving performance, medical analysis and recovery.

one reason is Harry Kane always seems to get injured before big matches? I know lots of teams ger injuries but we seem to get more than our fair share.
Couple seasons back we had a terrible injury plagued season. I feel time for restructing through the whole backroom staff. This is only my opinion and respect your opinion to mate.

In Jose's first season I agree we had a terrible time with injuries but if you remember under Poch we had a very very good injury record in general. In fact over those three years we had the Alderwerield Hamstring tear, Kane's ankle x3 and managed Dembele's failing hip (perhaps I have missed some out) . There wasn't a huge amount more.
With regards to the backroom staff with regards to coaches we haven't had any confirmation of who will be in the first team set up and whether Fabio wants Ryan, Ledley and Chris Powell still involved at the club.
I really think ( from what I know of the sports science and medical department) that we have a very good team of people that have used the state of the art facilities we have and from the squad's point of view that side of things need continuity with regards to long term ailments, other medical problems etc.

Good points, i really like King and Mason and would like them to stay but can't help feeling we need new ideas on the coaching team and coaches Nuno is used to. Going to be an interesting few weeks tho.

New start and all that. The poor guy isn't starting with a huge amount of good will seemingly though.

Agree its not Nuno fault, i put blame 100% on ENIC. Tey are destroying the heart of our club. I will give Nuno my support 100%. Good luck Nuno.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Cv’s our previous managers have had. Mourinho leads the way, pathetic for us.
I can think f Jaques Santini who’d won a World Cup, disastrous.George Graham....Arsenal legend.
Sherwood, Gross, Francis, Ardilles, Ramos, Jol....managerial cv’s???....Even Poch had nothing to brag about when he came to us.

Santini won a World Cup. Must have missed that one??

 

[ralphs bald spot]

no

if you believe some 'good will' is where he will be shopping for his signings - though personally I choose not to believe that

Can we please merge this with the other Nuno thread

You have a 4 star hotel and you spend a lot of money refurbishing because you want to turn it into a 5 star hotel. Following the refurb you appoint a new manager who only has experience of running 3 star hotels in the hope that he can get you that 5 star rating.

That is the business decision the board have just made.

Sincerely - best of luck Nuno!
