Wolves hold Lopetegui exit talks and want to speak to O'Neil

Wolves are in talks with Julen Lopetegui over mutually terminating his contract.

Former Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil is a candidate Wolves are keen to speak to about taking over from Lopetegui, who joined Wolves in November 2022 when the club were bottom of the Premier League.

Lopetegui has criticised the club's lack of spending during this summer's window and has cut a frustrated figure over the last few weeks as he looks to build on their 13th-place finish last season.

He has also seen a number of the club's best players leave during this summer as Wolves have been under substantial pressure to reduce the wage bill and comply with FFP.

O'Neil has been out of work since being sacked by Bournemouth in June but has been linked with a host of jobs over the summer.

He kept the club in the Premier League against all the odds racking up 39 points and finishing 15th, despite that achievement he did not keep hold of his job.
