Jose Mourinho has already delivered his verdict on Nuno Espirito Santo amid Tottenham talks

Jose Mourinho has previously admitted that he thinks Nuno Espirito Santo is ready to step up to the challenge of managing a "bigger club," amid Tottenham talks. Spurs are currently in desperate search of a manager after sacking Mourinho back in April. According to Sky Sports, Nuno has now become a 'strong contender' to land the role, as options that Spurs can turn to are beginning to run out. And if Spurs are to enjoy a successful round of talks with the former Wolverhampton Wanderers chief and he lands the job, Mourinho would give his seal of approval on the decision, previously admitting that his fellow countryman is up to the task of taking the reins of a bigger club, with no disrespect towards Wolves being meant. "I think he was a good keeper, but I think he’s a very good coach,” Mourinho said back in February last year. "So I really think that he’s doing fantastic work. "We are in a generation where sometimes coaches get jobs and nobody knows why. In this case it’s just about his work. "Work and work and work and prove how good he is and prove that in my opinion, I hope the Wolves fans and board forgive me, but I think he has conditions for bigger and I hope one day the bigger comes because he is doing fantastic work." Nuno guided Wolves to the Championship title in his first season in charge, after being appointed as head coach ahead of the 2017/18 season, before guiding them to back-to-back top-seven Premier League finishes, an FA Cup semi-final and the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League in 2019/20.
