Thunderbolt in Wolverhampton. Just three days before the start of the Premier League festivities and six days before their debut at Old Trafford against Manchester United (Monday August 14, 9:00 p.m.), Wolves have announced that they are parting ways with Julen Lopetegui. The club and the Basque coach have decided to end their contractual relationship situation.
Arrived in November 2022 after his dismissal from Seville, Lopetegui relieved Wolves who were in a very complicated situation. Maintained by managing to finish 13th Wolverhampton seemed to be off to a positive start until this announcement. The 56-year-old Spaniard had criticized the almost zero recruitment policy this summer. “We have to sign to be competitive,” he said.
“The coach and the club have acknowledged and accepted their differences of opinion on certain issues and have agreed that terminating his contract amicably is the best solution for all parties,” reads the club’s statement. .
Winner of the Europa League with Sevilla in 2020, the former coach of Real Madrid and coach of La Roja is now free on the market when his team had achieved a faultless preparation (3 wins and 2 draws).
