Tottenham can reportedly sack boss Nuno Espirito Santo in the summer without having to pay any compensation if he does not lead them to a top-six finish in the Premier League.
The Portuguese saw the pressure on him eased with Spurs' 2-1 victory against Aston Villa on Sunday, which came after a run of three straight top-flight defeats including a damaging north London derby reverse at Arsenal.
Spurs therefore head into the international break just four points behind leaders Chelsea, but The Athletic claim even if the season does not go to plan, the club have a clause in their manager's contract which benefits them.
