Wolverhampton Wanderers are six points clear at the top of the Championship and Nuno Espirito Santo is a hero at Molineux.

Nuno Espirito Santo has done a superb job since taking over at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The manager arrived at Molineux with a big reputation having worked at Porto and taken Valencia into the Champions League, and he has not disappointed.

Arranging the Championship’s most watertight defence while giving Wolves’ considerable attacking talent the freedom to express themselves, the Midlands giants are six points clear at the top of the table and look destined for a place in the Premier League next season.

And it seems that Nuno is even ahead of schedule.

As reported by the Sun (28 March, page 60), Wolves’ Chinese owners Fosun International bought the club in 2016 and set out a plan to be promoted to the top flight by the third year of their ownership.

Nuno, however, is taking them to the Promised Land one year early.

So Fosun, who the Sun claims are worth a remarkable £60 billion, should be thrilled with their decision to hand the 44-year-old his first job in English football.

Nuno has a contract until 2020 and there is no reason to suggest that Wolves will take the Watford route and change their managers upon promotion, as happened infamously to Slavisa Jokanovic after he took the Hornets up in 2015.
