Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is the new favourite to succeed Unai Emery at Arsenal.
The Spaniard is under intense pressure after the club’s poor end to last season and even more disappointing beginning to this campaign, with reports suggesting either that he has got three games to save his job or, alternatively, could be replaced if the club fail to beat Norwich City on Sunday.
And now Nuno is top of their shortlist of candidates to succeed him because of the fine job he has done at the West Midlands club, guiding them to promotion from the Championship, and a seventh-placed finish in his first season in the Premier League. They initially struggled this season because of the extra demands of the Europa League, but have since recovered and are fifth in the table, three points higher than Arsenal.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
