What went wrong with Nuno Espirito Santos' Coaching Tactics
Nino's tactics and philosophy is playing from the flanks and defensive solidity. He actually uses different formation, but his ideas is always the same. His formation varies depending on which player is available in the squad. At Wolves, while on possession of the ball they usually used three defenders at the back, however, when they lost possession the back three swiftly becomes a back five. This kind of formation favored him against Manchester City when Tottenham Hotspurs won 1-0.Source Although this didn't last. What really went wrong was the inability of Harry Kane to convert chances. This has cost Nuno his job, hope it'll not cost Conte his.
