After unsuccessful spells with the Wolves and the Spurs, Nuno Espirito Santo becomes the new Al-Ittihad coach
Nuno Espirito Santo, the former Wolves and Tottenham boss, has been unveiled as the new coach of Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad.
The 48-year-old Portuguese's appointment was confirmed in a statement on the club's official Twitter account on Monday evening. It said: "Nuno Santo is here. Welcome Coach."

In a brief video message to the club's fans on the same platform, Nuno said:
"It's an honour for me to join the greatest club in Saudi Arabia, Ittihad. See you soon.''
Al-Ittihad finished second in the Saudi Pro League after a 0-0 home draw with Al-Batin on the final day of the campaign, allowing rivals Al-Hilal to secure the title for a third successive season with a 2-1 win over Al-Faisaly.
He was appointed as Jose Mourinho's successor at Spurs in June last year but lasted just 17 games before Antonio Conte replaced him in November 2021.
