JAKARTA - English Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers have new managers after Bruno Lage was sacked last month. Wolves announced Julen Lopetegui would become their new boss.
The 56-year-old Spaniard has an impressive CV in his coaching career. He is noted to have coached FC Porto, Spain, Real Madrid and Sevilla.
He will take control at Molineux on Monday, November 14, after completing his work permit.
Lopetegui's first match as a new manager took place on December 26, after the 2022 World Cup. At that time, Wolves would travel to Everton for Boxing Day matches.
In the meantime, U-18 coach Steve Davis will remain on duty to accompany the senior team.
"Julen is the top coach, with extraordinary experience at the elite level of the game, and we are very pleased to have agreed to take him to Wolves," said Jeff Shi.
"From the start, 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."
Lopetegui's biggest success to date is lifting the Europa League trophy with Sevilla in 2019-20. However, he was dismissed from his managerial role in the Andalusian team earlier this season after a disappointing result.
Now, he will face a new challenge with Wolves, the team currently at the bottom of the Premier League standings.
