Just days after it emerged that Paulo Fonseca has been offered to Tottenham Hotspur, a new report claims that Wolverhampton Wanderers now want the outgoing AS Roma manager.

Earlier this month, well-known and well-respected journalist Ian McGarry claimed on the Transfer Window Podcast that Fonseca has been offered to Tottenham (and Celtic).

The 48-year-old will leave his current managerial role at AS Roma at the end of the season and will be replaced by Jose Mourinho.

Spurs are on the hunt for a new permanent manager, and so are Wolves.

It was announced yesterday that Nuno – who has been linked with the Tottenham managerial role – will leave the Wanderers after Sunday’s game against Manchester United.

The Mirror has claimed that Wolves are looking at 48-year-old Portuguese coach Fonseca.

Fonseca is relatively young.

The Portuguese is only 48, but he is vastly experienced, having been in the management business since 2005,

Fonseca has taken charge of 452 matches in his career and has a points per match average of 1.95.

If that were in the Premier League this season, then it would equate to 74.1 points – more than what second-placed Manchester United have got now.

Fonseca also won the Ukrainian Premier League title thrice and the Ukrainian Cup on three occasions with Shakhtar Donetsk.
