Wolves have announced the appointment of Julen Lopetegui as the new head coach
The club’s long search for a new head coach is finally set to end as the former Spain and Real Madrid boss prepares to take over at Molineux.
Lopetegui will not begin in his new role until after the Arsenal fixture on November 12, meaning he will not take charge of any games before the World Cup break.
Interim head coach Steve Davis will take charge of the team for the home Premier League clashes with Brighton and Arsenal, as well as the Carabao Cup fixture with Leeds at Molineux.
After sacking Bruno Lage on October 2, Wolves moved to appoint Lopetegui, as executive chairman Jeff Shi flew to Spain to hold talks with the 56-year-old. Wolves were rebuffed when the Spaniard reluctantly turned down the job to look after his elderly father.
