– Bruno Lage has become the third manager to lose his job in the Premier League after he was sacked by Wolves on Sunday.
Wolves have parted company with head coach Bruno Lage.
We would like to thank Bruno and his coaching team for their efforts during their time at the club and wish them the very best for the future.

– Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at West Ham was Wolves’ fourth of a campaign in which they have scored just three times in the league, despite owners Fosun backing Lage with £100million in the summer transfer window.
– Wolves are in the bottom three and their next fixture is at Chelsea on Saturday. They have been studying possible successors but have not ruled out placing a coach already on the staff, such as Under-21 coach James Collins or his Under-18 counterpart Steve Davis, in charge for next Saturday’s trip to Chelsea.

– While Lage has had little luck with injuries – summer signing Sasa Kalajdzic damaged knee ligaments on his debut while fellow striker Raul Jimenez remains sidelined – the form since last spring has been alarming, with only one win in 15 games across two seasons.
– Martins is thought to have links to Jorge Mendes, head of the powerful Gestifute agency who have a strong relationship with Fosun.
– Both Lage and his predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo are Gestifute clients, as are many of the Wolves squad.
