Tottenham consider former Liverpool FC captain Steven Gerrard as next manager

Tottenham Hotspur have placed Rangers boss Steven Gerrard on their list of contenders to become the next Spurs manager, although former Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is the leading candidate, according to a report in England.

The Evening Standard is reporting that Nuno has emerged as the frontrunner to fill the managerial void left by Jose Mourinho at the north London side following his dismissal in the 2020-21 season.

The same article states that Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici is a fan of the Portuguese head coach and the Italian has a good working relationship with super agent Jorge Mendes.

According to the same story, the north London side still have work to do to finalise a deal with Nuno and there are no guarantees that the ex-Wolves manager will end up with the job.
