Odds slashed on former Tottenham boss taking Premier League job
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
A former Tottenham boss is being linked with a return to management in the Premier League.
Nuno Espirito Santo proved to be one of the more forgettable Tottenham bosses of recent years, only managing a short stint at the club. Santo had worked wonders at Wolves, taking them back to the Premier League before establishing the Midlands club as a Premier League mainstay.

Spurs haven’t looked back up to now, securing a top four finish under Conte, and they have also enjoyed a good start to the season. Santo has returned to management since, joining Saudi club Al-Ittihad in the summer, but he is now being linked with a return to the Premier League.
BetVictor have slashed the odds for a Santo return to Wolves, with the former Spurs boss now priced at 5/4 following the sacking of Bruno Lage. Santo is a popular figure at Wolves, given what he achieved, and he is being tipped to return to steady the ship at Molineux.
Elsewhere in the odds, Pedro Martins is the second favourite, followed by Marcelo Gallardo and former Wolves player Rob Edwards, who was recently sacked by Watford. Former Burnley boss Sean Dyche and now former Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui are also in the odds.
