Nuno sack is the lastest in the EPL, but won’t be the last, others will surely follow since coaches stay on jobs depending on their last match

Tottenham Hotspur FC have sacked head coach Nuno Espirito Santo after only four months in charge following Saturday’s Premier League defeat by Manchester United.
A statement from the club said: “The club can today announce that Nuno Espirito Santo and his coaching staff Ian Cathro, Rui Barbosa and Antonio Dias have been relieved of their duties”.
Tottenham are currently eighth in the Premier League, 10 points off leaders Chelsea, after the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United on Reports BBC.
The 47-year-old Nuno signed a two-year contract in June following a long search to find Jose Mourinho’s successor.
The departure of Nuno, who left Wolves in May after four seasons in charge, means Tottenham are looking for their fourth permanent manager in the last three years.
