Julen Lopetegui Leaves Wolves After Nine Months In Charge

Premier League side, Wolves have announced the departure of its head coach, Julen Lopetegui just three days before the start of the new Premier League season.

The Spaniard had been in charge of the club for nine months and kept them in the Premier League after taking over with the team bottom last Christmas.

Lopetegui had criticised the club’s lack of spending during this summer’s window and cut a frustrated figure over the last few weeks.

Meanwhile, Wolves have also seen a number of the club’s best players leave during this summer.

A club statement announcing Lopetegui’s departure from Wolves read: “The head coach and club acknowledged and accepted their differences of opinion on certain issues and agreed that an amicable end to his contract was the best solution for all parties.”

Gary O’Neil, who helped Bournemouth to secure their top-flight survival last season, steering them to a 15th-placed finish in the league after taking over from Scott Parker, is reportedly set to replace Lopetegui at Molineux.

The Premier League season begins on Friday and Wolves go to Manchester United for their first game on Monday.
