Antonio Conte must be given free rein as head coach by Tottenham, while the Italian's top priority should be getting Harry Kane firing again, says Jamie Redknapp. Nuno was sacked by Tottenham on Monday, less than five months after taking charge of the north London club, and Conte signed an month contract, with the option to extend, to replace the Portuguese on Tuesday.

The former Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan boss was in line to succeed Jose Mourinho before talks broke down last summer, with Nuno instead taking on the role. Nuno, 47, signed a two-year contract in June following a protracted search to find Mourinho's successor, but his tenure has lasted just beyond four months and a total of only 17 games.

The departure of Nuno, who left Wolves in May after four seasons in charge, and arrival of Conte means Spurs have appointed their fourth permanent boss in the last three years and Redknapp says chairman Daniel Levy cannot afford this appointment to go wrong. He is a brilliant signing for them. I get the frustration at the weekend of the Tottenham fans and their right to voice their opinions, but this has been going on for a while now.

The problem Nuno had as a manager was when you are a club of Tottenham's stature, you need to get your first choice, you do not miss out. So to a certain extent, he goes into that changing room naked and you are in a very difficult position from the start. With Conte, they will be delighted with that, but it does not mean straight away he is going to get this right.

Discussions with early front-runner Conte -- fresh off of winning the Serie A title with Inter Milan -- failed to deliver any progress, prompting the club to enter into discussions with other candidates. Spurs got as close as drafting a contract for ex- Roma manager Fonseca -- two years with an option for a further 12 months -- before pulling out at the 11th hour and turning their attentions to Gennaro Gattuso after he surprisingly left Fiorentina.

However, a backlash among supporters to Gattuso's possible appointment led to Spurs starting again in their search. Skip to main content Skip to navigation.

Aston Villa appoint Steven Gerrard as new coach. A statement from the club on Monday said Nuno and his coaching staff had been "relieved of their duties". We should like to thank him and his coaching staff and wish them well for the future. Nuno, 47, was announced as the new manager of the north London club on June 30, replacing Jose Mourinho, who was sacked in April. The ex-Valencia and Porto boss, who was not the first choice for Spurs, was appointed after ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino, Conte, Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso were all linked with the job.

Tottenham topped the Premier League table after three wins at the start of the season, including a victory over defending champions Manchester City, but results rapidly deteriorated. They have lost five of their past seven Premier League matches and are eighth in the table, 10 points behind leaders Chelsea.

Nuno lost seven of his 17 games in all competitions, with fans who craved attacking football increasingly frustrated by his conservative style. Tottenham did not manage a single shot on target against United, with England captain Harry Kane largely anonymous.
