Tottenham fires coach Nuno after losing half of EPL matches

LONDON (AP) — Tottenham has fired manager Nuno Espírito Santo after losing half of his 10 Premier matches in charge of the club. The dismissal comes after only four months in the job and follows a 3-0 home loss to Manchester United on Saturday. Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici says it’s with “regret that we have had to take this decision.” Now Tottenham has turned again to trying to hire Antonio Conte, one of the coaches it sought to recruit in a chaotic off-season process that ended up with Nuno being far from the first choice for the job.
