Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed that they are looking at two new prospects after they sacked head coach Bruno Lage.
Bruno Lage was sacked after he watch his side get defeated in their match against West Ham United on Saturday.
The latest setback left Wolves sitting in the relegation zone with just six points being collected from their eight matches.
When including last season’s run-in, Lage’s side had recorded just one win in 15 matches before his departure on Sunday, a period which also includes nine defeats.
While speaking to the club’s official website, Wolverhampton chairman, Jeff Shi said:
“Bruno is an excellent coach, a hardworking and dedicated manager, and a warm, wise and honest man.”
“He and his staff have been a pleasure to work with throughout their time at Wolves, so it is with much sadness that we have had to make what has been a difficult decision.”
“I honestly have no doubts about Bruno’s ability, and I’m sure he will succeed elsewhere, however, the team’s form and performances over the last few months mean that we have no choice but to act.”
“On behalf of everyone at Wolves, I would like to place on record our gratitude to Bruno and his coaching team for all their efforts during their time with the club, and wish them the very best for the future.”
Wolves say that Steve Davis and James Collins, who work with the Under-18 and Under-21 setups respectively, will take over first-team training ahead of Saturday’s trip to Chelsea.
No frontrunner has been decided yet, but Reuben Amorim of Sporting Lisbon, Sergio Conceicao of Porto, and Pedro Martins of Olympiakos are favorites.
