After weeks of rumours, Paul Lambert left his post as Wolves boss earlier this week.
The BBC reported how Lambert’s concerns over the club’s transfer policy led to his exit, and Nuno Espirito Santo has taken over.
Santo is the former Porto manager and arrives with a big reputation, but has a tough task ahead at Molineux.

He becomes the club’s fourth manager in the last 10 months and television pundit Richard Keys believes the club have made a potential error in letting Paul Lambert go.
Responding to a supporter on Twitter, Keys also expressed his concerns at the club’s transfer activity.
Wolves have brought in a number of players from Portugal over the past year since Fosun International completed their takeover.
Agent Jorge Mendes has the ear of the Wolves hierarchy, and this has led to high profile additions of Ivan Cavaleiro and Helder Costa.

There have been less successful additions too, with Ola John and Joao Teixeira among them.
The appointment of Santo is an indication they intend to continue going down this route.
