Lopetegui will train in Wolverhampton

Wolves have appointed the former Sevilla boss a month after he was sacked due to poor results. The English started the season with Bruno Lage on the bench, replaced a few weeks ago. Steve Davies was in charge of the team on an interim basis until Lopetegui’s appointment, according to Marca.

A difficult mission and reinforcements from Real

The Spanish coach will try to solve the situation in the team, which is in a serious crisis (19th place in the ranking with only 10 accumulated points). In addition, the English are talking about the possible winter arrival of forward Mariano Diaz, who did not get many minutes in “Real”.

Julien Lopetegui (56) has also coached Porto, Real Madrid, Sevilla and the Spanish national team and has a UEFA Europa League trophy won with Sevilla in 2020.
