Wolverhampton Wanderers are eyeing Oscar Garcia and Paulo Sousa as possible replacements for Paul Lambert, the Sun on Sunday reports (19/03, p67).

Lambert’s job is said to be on the line, despite the Scot having only taking the reins at Molineux last November.

And Wolves’ owners, Fosun International, are reportedly being advised to look for ‘big name’ alternatives from overseas.

Both Garcia and Sousa, the managers of Red Bull Salzburg and Fiorentina respectively, have some experience of England’s Championship, however, with the former having managed Watford and Brighton & Hove Albion and the latter spending a season at Swansea City.

Spaniard Garcia led Salzburg to the Austrian title last season and looks set to repeat the trick this time around.

Sousa’s side, however, are struggling to replicate last year’s fifth-placed finish in Serie A, and it’s plausible that the Portuguese could leave this summer.

Lambert, meanwhile, has hoisted Wolves away from any immediate danger with three straight wins against Rotherham, Brentford and Fulham.
