Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo is to leave at the end of the season, the club said Friday.
The 47-year old has been in charge since 2017, guiding Wolves back to the Premier League in his first season at the helm and then enjoyed consecutive seventh-placed finishes.
This season has been more of a struggle with injuries and the departures of key players resulting in a bottom-half finish.
They are in 12th place ahead of their final game of the season at home to Manchester United.
Espirito Santo's name will now be in the frame for the managerial vacancy at Tottenham Hotspur who sacked more illustrious Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho in April.
Espirito Santo, who was previously with Valencia and Porto before moving to Wolves, has won admiration for the style of his football although this season he has endured criticism.
The highlight of Espirito Santo's four years in charge was taking Wolves to the quarter-finals of last season's Europa League in 2020.
He will exit the club as its fifth longest serving manager of the post-war era.
