Former Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho has previously admitted that he believes Nuno Espirito Santo is ready to step up to the challenge of managing a "bigger club". Spurs are currently in talks with the 47-year-old about the possibility of him replacing Mourinho as the club's new head coach, according to a report by Sky Sports. Publication reports, Nuno has now become a 'strong contender' to land the role, as options that Spurs can turn to are beginning to run out. However, if Spurs are to enjoy a successful round of talks with the former Wolverhampton Wanderers chief and he agrees to the job, Mourinho would give his seal of approval on the decision. "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."
