Wolves appoint Gary O'Neil as their new boss less than 24 hours following Julen Lopetegui's shock departure just days before the start of the new Premier League season

Wolves have moved quickly to appoint Gary O'Neil as their new manager following the shock departure of Julen Lopetegui – with the new Premier League season just days away.

O’Neil, 40, led Bournemouth to a comfortable survival last season after replacing Scott Parker early in the campaign, yet - to the surprise of many - he was moved on in June in favour of Spanish coach Andoni Iraola.

And now O'Neill is back managing a Premier League club again, although he'll only have five days to prepare his side for their curtain-raiser against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
