Embattled Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is facing the axe after only 17 games in charge.
The Portuguese was an alternative option in the summer with the likes of Paulo Fonseca and Rino Gattuso in talks before his eventual appointment.
And now The Athletic report chairman Daniel Levy will meet managing director Fabio Paratici to discuss potentially terminating his contract.
Nuno was regarded by many Spurs onlookers as odd fit with his game immersed in the 'low block' that was a hallmark of former boss Jose Mourinho.
The former Wolves boss won his first three league games but his brand of football has never impressed with fans voicing concerns early into his tenure.
He was hit with chants of "you don't know what you're doing", during the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.
Nuno's time in charge has been complicated by Harry Kane's protracted interest from Manchester City and his uneven form since the close of the window.
Ambitious Newcastle United are also on the hunt for a new boss and that vacancy could force Spurs to act now.
