He became a coach in 2012, leading Portuguese club Rio Ave to both domestic cup finals in 2014. After brief spells at Valencia in Spain's La Liga, and a return to Porto, he managed Wolverhampton Wanderers for four years. In 2021, he took over as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, but was relieved of his duties after four months in charge. Club career[edit] Early career / Deportivo[edit] Born in São Tomé, Portuguese São Tomé and Príncipe, Nuno started his football career with Vitória S. C. in Guimarães, battling from age 20 with veteran Neno for first-choice status. After a meeting with the then Porto nightclub owner Jorge Mendes he became the agent's first client in 1996;[1] Mendes brokered a $1 million transfer the following January to La Liga's Deportivo de La Coruña, [2] but Nuno spent three of his six seasons in Galicia out on loan, backing up Jacques Songo'o (1996–98) and José Francisco Molina (2001–02) when he was part of the team.
It was the first time that a Wolverhampton Wanderers manager had secured the award, in the club's fifth season in the competition. [40] Wolves finished seventh in the 2018–19 league season; it was the club's highest Premier League rank and their highest in the English top-flight since the 1979–80 season when they finished sixth. Wolves also qualified for a European competition for the first time since 1980–81, reaching the UEFA Europa League. [41] Espírito Santo was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month title for a second time on 10 July 2020 for a run of five fixtures unbeaten between the beginning of March and the end of June, sandwiching the temporary suspension of the 2019–20 Premier League due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.
[31] The following 22 May, however, after a season devoid of silverware which included a second place in the league, [32] he was relieved of his duties. [33] Wolverhampton Wanderers[edit] On 31 May 2017, Espírito Santo was named as the new head coach of then EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers, signing a three-year deal. [34] He was voted the competition's Manager of the Month in November as his team won all four of their games, scoring 13 times. [35] Espírito Santo led the club to the Premier League after a six-year absence, achieving promotion with four matches remaining in the season[36] and being confirmed as champions with two games to spare. [37] On 10 July 2018, it was announced that his contract had been extended until 2021. [38] Espírito Santo was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month title in his second month managing in the English top division[39] after his team went unbeaten in September 2018, accruing ten points from four matches and only conceding one goal.
[11] Again in January, in 2007, Nuno returned to Portugal for a stint with C. D. Aves, [12] eventually relegated from the Primeira Liga. In July he returned to Porto, backing up Brazilian Helton during most of his spell. [13] Despite his limited involvement on the pitch – earning him the nickname O Substituto – he was considered a leader of the club. [14] Nuno again played second-fiddle to Helton during the 2008–09 season appearing in only four games, but was the starter throughout the domestic cup campaign, including the final win (1–0) against F. Paços de Ferreira. [15] International career[edit] Nuno represented Portugal at the 1996 Summer Olympics, playing four matches for the fourth-placed team. [16] He also played for the nation's B team. [17] Uncapped, he was called to the full squad competing in UEFA Euro 2008, replacing the injured Quim.
[4] The following season he was loaned to CA Osasuna, [5] going on to rank seventh in the Zamora as his team finished only one point above the relegation zone in the top tier. [6] Porto[edit] José Mourinho's FC Porto paid €3 million to bring Nuno back to the country in July 2002, as part of the deal that saw Jorge Andrade join Deportivo. [7] During a 2003 Taça de Portugal match against Varzim SC, he was allowed by Mourinho to convert a penalty kick, scoring the club's last goal in a 7–0 home routing. [8] In May 2004, Nuno was an unused substitute as Porto won the UEFA Champions League[9] final. On 12 December 2004, he replaced club great Vítor Baía during extra time of the Intercontinental Cup final penalty shoot-out victory against Once Caldas;[10] however, in January, he was sold to Russian Premier League's FC Dynamo Moscow.
