Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo (born 25 January 1974), known as Nuno Espírito Santo or simply Nuno, is a Portuguese football manager and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is currently the manager of Premier League club Nottingham Forest.

During his career, Espírito Santo first made a name for himself in Spain, playing for three teams in five years. He later returned to Portugal to represent Porto, and also played professionally in Russia. He was part of the Portuguese squad at UEFA Euro 2008, but never won a cap for the national team.

Espírito Santo started his coaching career at Greek club Panathinaikos as an assistant. 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. He became manager of Al-Ittihad Club in July 2022 where he won a league title and Saudi Super Cup before being dismissed in November 2023. The following month, he returned to the Premier League as head coach of Nottingham Forest.

Club career

[edit]

Early career / Deportivo

[edit]

Espírito Santo was born in São Tomé, Portuguese São Tomé and Príncipe, and started his football career with Vitória Guimarães. After a meeting with the then Porto nightclub owner Jorge Mendes, Espírito Santo became the agent's first client in 1996.[1] Mendes brokered a $1 million transfer the following January to La Liga's Deportivo La Coruña,[2] although Espírito Santo spent three of his six seasons at the club out on loan, backing up Jacques Songo'o (1996–1998) and José Francisco Molina (2001–02) when he was part of the team.[citation needed] He was the preferred goalkeeper for the winning campaign in the Copa del Rey in the latter season, although Javier Irureta played Molina in the final victory over Real Madrid.[3]

In 1999–2000, as he represented Mérida in the Segunda División, Espírito Santo won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy and helped the team finish sixth, but the club would be relegated to Segunda División B due to irregularities.[4] He was loaned to Osasuna the following season,[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 Porto paid €3 million to sign Espírito Santo in July 2002, as part of the deal that saw Jorge Andrade join Deportivo.[7] During a 2003 Taça de Portugal match against Varzim, he was allowed by Mourinho to convert a penalty kick, scoring the club's last goal in a 7–0 home win.[8] In May 2004, Espírito Santo was an unused substitute for the final as Porto won the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League.[9] On 12 December, he replaced club great Vítor Baía during extra time of the 2004 Intercontinental Cup final penalty shoot-out victory against Once Caldas.[10] However, in January, he was sold to Russian Premier League club Dynamo Moscow.[11]

In January 2007, Espírito Santo returned to Portugal for a stint with Aves,[12] eventually relegated from the Primeira Liga. He returned to Porto in July, 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 at the club.[14]

Espírito Santo 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 1–0 final win against Paços de Ferreira.[15]

International career

[edit]

Espírito Santo 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 senior squad competing in UEFA Euro 2008, replacing the injured Quim,[18] but did not play a match.

Coaching career

[edit]

Beginnings

[edit]

On 21 June 2010, Porto announced that Espírito Santo's contract would not be renewed.[19] The 36-year-old said he would always support Porto as he left.[20] After his retirement, he rejoined former Porto manager Jesualdo Ferreira, moving to Málaga as a goalkeeping coach, before the pair signed for Panathinaikos in November.[21]

Rio Ave

[edit]

In May 2012, Rio Ave dismissed manager Carlos Brito and announced the appointment of Espírito Santo.[22] In his first match in charge on 18 August, the team lost 1–0 at home to Marítimo in the first game of the 2012–13 Primeira Liga season.[23] He recorded his first win nine days later, by the same margin away to Sporting CP.[24]

In his second season in charge, Espírito Santo's team reached both the Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga finals, therefore leading them to the UEFA Europa League for the first time in their history.[25]

Valencia

[edit]
Espírito Santo as manager of Valencia in 2015

Espírito Santo signed a one-year contract with Valencia in La Liga on 4 July 2014, replacing Juan Antonio Pizzi.[26] On 12 January 2015, he agreed to an extension to keep him at the club until 2018,[27] and he eventually led them to a fourth place finish in his first season,[28] Highlights included a 2–1 home win over Real Madrid and a 2–2 away draw against the same opponent,[29][30] while he was named La Liga Manager of the Month three times/[31] He resigned on 29 November 2015, following a 1–0 away defeat to Sevilla, after a poor start to both Valencia's La Liga and Champions League campaigns.[32]

During his time at Valencia, Espírito Santo, his agent Jorge Mendes and club owner Peter Lim were criticised for signing the agent's clients.[33][34] Roberto Ayala, who won several trophies as a Valencia player and later became a scout, left the club, alleging that they were signing such players for inflated fees.[35]

Porto

[edit]

On 1 June 2016, Espírito Santo signed a two-year contract with Porto, replacing former head coach José Peseiro.[36] His first game on 12 August was a return to the Estádio dos Arcos, where his team came from behind to beat Rio Ave 3–1.[37] However, after a season devoid of silverware which included a second-place finish in the league,[38] he was relieved of his duties on 22 May 2017.[39]

Wolverhampton Wanderers

[edit]

On 31 May 2017, Espírito Santo was named as the new head coach of EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers, signing a three-year contract.[40] He was voted the competition's Manager of the Month in November as his team won all four of their games, scoring 13 goals.[41] Espírito Santo led the club to the Premier League after a six-year absence, achieving promotion with four matches remaining in the season[42] and being confirmed as champions with two games to spare.[43] On 10 July 2018, it was announced that his contract had been extended until 2021.[44]

Espírito Santo was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month title in his second month managing in the English top division[45] after his team went unbeaten in September 2018, accruing ten points from four matches and only conceding one goal. It was the first time that a Wolves manager had secured the award, in the club's fifth season in the competition.[46] Wolves finished seventh in the 2018–19 league season; it was the club's highest Premier League ranking, and their highest in the English top-flight since the 1979–80 season when they finished sixth.[citation needed] Wolves also qualified for a European competition for the first time since the 1980–81 UEFA Cup, reaching the UEFA Europa League.[47]

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.[48] The run included four wins and four clean sheets. The season saw Espírito Santo's team achieve a second consecutive seventh-place finish in the Premier League (with a record points total for Wolves in the Premier League of 59), and reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League, the club's best such performance since being finalists in the 1971–72 UEFA Cup.[49]

On 13 September 2020, at the outset of the 2020–21 season, Espírito Santo's contract at the club was extended until summer 2023.[50] He was named the Premier League Manager of the Month for October with a run of four fixtures unbeaten, including three wins without conceding; this was the third time he had received the award.[51] On 27 February 2021, he took charge of his 102nd Premier League game as Wolves head coach as his team played out a 1–1 draw with Newcastle United at St James' Park, surpassing Mick McCarthy as the longest-serving Wolves head coach in the Premier League era.[52] On 21 May, Wolves announced that Espírito Santo would leave the club by mutual consent at the end of the season.[53]

Tottenham Hotspur

[edit]

On 30 June 2021, Tottenham Hotspur announced Espírito Santo as their new head coach on a two-year contract with an option to extend for a third year.[54] On his debut on 15 August, the team won 1–0 at home against reigning champions Manchester City through a Son Heung-min goal.[55] On 29 August, he achieved the best start to a Premier League season for Tottenham after beating Watford to secure three wins from their first three matches. He won the Premier League Manager of the Month award for August, the fourth of his career.[56] On 1 November, after his team lost 3–0 at home to Manchester United, their fifth loss in seven matches and which left them ninth in the table, Espírito Santo was dismissed after less than four months in charge.[57] He was replaced the following day by Antonio Conte.[58]

Al-Ittihad

[edit]

On 4 July 2022, Espírito Santo was appointed by Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.[59] He held talks for a return to Wolves in October.[60] He won the 2022 Saudi Super Cup on 29 January 2023 with a 2–0 final win over Al Fayha.[61] On 27 May, he won the club's first league title in 14 years, also after beating Al-Fayha 3–0 with one match remaining in the league.[62]

Espírito Santo was dismissed on 8 November 2023, two days after a 2–0 loss to Iraqi club Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in the 2023–24 AFC Champions League.[63][64]

Nottingham Forest

[edit]

On 20 December 2023, Espirito Santo was appointed head coach of Premier League club Nottingham Forest, following the dismissal of Steve Cooper.[65] The side's first win under his tenure came on 26 December as they beat Newcastle United 3–1.[66] This was followed by a 2–1 home win against Manchester United which was Forest's first Premier League victory over the club in 29 years.[67][68] On the final day of the season, Espirito Santo led Forest to a 2–1 away win over Burnley to secure the club's survival from relegation with a 17th placed finish in the league.[69]

On 14 September 2024, Espirito Santo led Forest to a 1–0 away win over Liverpool at Anfield, which was the first time the club had won at Liverpool in any competition since February 1969,[70] ending Forest's 25-game winless run at Anfield, and securing Espirito Santo's first ever Premier League victory against Liverpool.[71]

Personal life

[edit]

Espírito Santo and his wife Sandra have three children as of 2020.[72] On 4 May 2019, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Sport by the University of Wolverhampton.[73]
