NUNO WILL SHINE IN SPURS JOB

- EXCLUSIVE By Alex Wood

NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO will soon prove the doubters wrong at Tottenham after the club’s ‘dire’ performanc­es under Jose Mourinho.

That’s the belief of former Spurs winger Darren Anderton (below), who admits he’s excited to see the impact Nuno can make.

The Portuguese was drafted in this summer following a four-year stint with Wolves.

His appointmen­t raised some eyebrows amongst the north London faithful but

Santo won his first three games in charge before the side suffered a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last week.

Anderton, who made over 350 appearance­s for the club, said: “I’m excited to see what he can do, if he’s given time.

“Under Jose Mourinho, it was disappoint­ing. It was dire to watch and that’s okay if you win trophies and win matches – but that wasn’t happening either.

“Santo was such an important appointmen­t and they got the right man.

“People say that he wasn’t first choice but he is a top manager. I love the way that his teams play football.”
