Nuno, who left Wolves in May after leading them to 13th in the Premier League last season, has signed a two-year deal with Spurs.

Spurs had sacked Jose Mourinho in April and replaced him with 29-year-old Ryan Mason until the end of last season.

“It’s an enormous pleasure and honour [to be at Spurs]. I’m happy and looking forward to starting work,” said Nuno.

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

Before Nuno sealed the deal, former Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte, Paulo Fonseca and Gennaro Gattuso were linked with the Tottenham job.
