Ex-Real Madrid Lopetegui becomes Wolves New Manager

Wolves have appointed Spaniard Julen Lopetegui as their new manager after he had initially turned them down.

The 56-year-old will take charge on 14 November, with the Premier League pausing for the World Cup.

Lopetegui was the club’s first choice to take over after they dismissed Bruno Lage on 2nd October but he opted to stay at home to be near his elderly father.

Wolves Chairman Jeff Shi said; “Julen is a top coach, with excellent experience at an elite level of the game.

“Since the very beginning, Julen has been our number one choice to manage Wolves, and we look forward to welcoming him and his team when they join us in the coming weeks.”
