FORMER Tottenham and Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is fighting to save his job at Saudi club Al-Ittihad.<\/p>\n

Following a\u00a0historic victory\u00a0in May that secured the league title, the Jeddah-based club have suffered back-to-back defeats – casting doubt on the Portuguese boss' position.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After Nuno's former side, Tottenham faced five defeats in seven matches he found himself unemployed in November 2021 – despite having been in charge for four months.<\/p>\n

Just under a year later, the 49-year-old was appointed the manager of the Saudi Pro League side in July 2022.<\/p>\n

Since his arrival, Al-Ittihad has won the Saudi Super Cup and the Saudi Pro League title.<\/p>\n

But in a swift turn of events, the reigning champions suffered\u00a0back-to-back losses\u00a0against Iraqi side Air Force Club and Saudi rival Al-Shabab.<\/p>\n

And according to sports journalist Rudy Galetti, the Saudi side are undergoing an "internal evaluation of the position of Nuno" after the defeats.<\/p>\n

Al-Ittihad currently sit sixth in the table with only six wins out of 12 games this term.<\/p>\n

The report also claimed no final decision has been made yet but the club are exploring possible replacements including Jose Mourinho and ex-Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui.<\/p>\n

The Saudi side appear to have a taste for former Molineux managers as Nuno led the West Midlands club from 2017 to 2021.<\/p>\n

Nuno\u00a0had great success with Wolves, guiding them from the Championship to successive seventh-placed Premier League finishes and a\u00a0Europa League\u00a0quarter-final.<\/p>\n

And only just months into his new role at Al-Ittihad, he held talks with his ex-club about a potential return.<\/p>\n

But a sticking point in Nuno's contract at the Pro League giants forced him to remain in the Gulf.<\/p>\n

The ex-Porto star signed a two-year deal while also taking three former\u00a0Wolves\u00a0staff members with him to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

First-team coach Ian Cathro, fitness specialist Antonio Dias and goalkeeping coach Rui Barbosa all made the move to Saudi.<\/p>\n
