Tottenham Hotspur have announced the appointment of Nuno as their first-team head coach.

Spurs have stated on their official website that Nuno has put pen to paper on a contract that runs until 2023.

The 47-year-old manager was available after leaving Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of last season.

Spurs had been searching for a permanent manager since April when Jose Mourinho was sacked.

Mourinho’s dismissal from Tottenham came just days before the Carabao Cup final against Premier League rivals Manchester City,

Ryan Mason was appointed as the Spurs head coach until the end of last season.

Nuno told Tottenham’s official website: “When you have a squad with quality and talent, we want to make the fans proud and enjoy.

“It’s an enormous pleasure and honour (to be here), there’s joy and I’m happy and looking forward to starting work.

“We don’t have any days to lose and we must start working immediately as pre-season starts in a few days.”

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said: “First of all, I’d like to welcome Nuno to the Club. We should like to thank our supporters for all their patience throughout this process.

“I’ve spoken already about the need to revert back to our core DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football and Fabio and I believe Nuno is the man who can take our talented group of players, embrace our young players coming through and build something special.”

Tottenham are rated at 6/1 by Betfair to finish in the top four of the Premier League table next season.
