As Paul Lambert prepares for his first game as Wolverhampton Wanderers boss, it is time to take a look at the last few men to take the helm at Molineux.
The managerial position at Wolverhampton Wanderers has been a poisoned chalice for quite some time now.
Ever since Mick McCarthy guided the club to the Premier League, plenty of men have come and gone in an attempt to get the Midlands club back to where they feel they belong. Unfortunately, things have not gone all too well.
Walter Zenga
Things seemed destined for failure for Walter Zenga. Ever since he stepped foot in the door at Molineux there was a sense of trepidation, and in alot of ways those fears were realised.
After a poor run of fixtures the Italian was dismissed, with some believing the sacking was premature. Either way, his tenure is not likely to be remembered too fondly by Wolves fans.
Kenny Jackett
The man who brought stability back to Wolves. Kenny Jackett guided the club out of League One and came very close to taking them into the Championship play-offs, however missing out proved to be the catalyst for his downfall.
A lackluster season the next year led to many calling for his head, proving that he just did not have the skills necessary for another promotion push.
Dean Saunders
Abysmal. That is the only real word that can be used to describe Dean Saunders’ time at the club, and it came during quite a dark period for the Midlands side.
Saunders was the man at the helm when Wolves dropped into the third tier, and his four months in charge saw just five wins in 20 games. A poor record for a manager who should really never of been hired.
Stale Solbakken
While he has tarnished his name slightly with comments in the media, Solbakken did seem to get the short end of the stick at Wolves.
After a positive start he claimed transfer policies hindered him as results started to flounder. In the grand scheme of things it was a pretty disastrous period, especially given the hope he originally brought in the first few months.
Terry Connor
Poor old TC. Terry Connor should never have been given the task of keeping Wolves up, especially with such little time remaining in the season. Steve Bruce was originally tipped for the job but it was given to Connor instead, and throughout his four months in charge he failed to win any of his 13 games.
He will forever be in the history books, but many will want to forget about this speed bump.
