In an uncharacteristically open 45-minute post-season briefing with journalists, Nuno gave an insight into his life away from the pitch.
Unlike fellow Portuguese Jose Mourinho, the Manchester United manager, Nuno has moved out of a hotel and into a house close to the training ground.
However, as with Mourinho, his life centres around football because his wife and three grown-up children have not moved to England with him.
He said: “It would be a big mistake for me to be so selfish and take them away from their friends.
“I have big children anyway. They are at university and have their own lives – but we still see each other, it is two hours away.”
Initially, Nuno said he had no hobbies away from the game.
But on the day the club celebrated their title win and promotion with a street parade, he revealed he has been learning golf and showed journalists a video recording of his players tricking him into playing a fake ball off the tee which exploded on impact, covering the manager in flour.
