Wolves 'are set to hold formal talks with Julen Lopetegui in the next few days'... with ex-Sevilla manager in line to replace Bruno Lage having been sacked by the Spanish side after a horrendous start to season

Wolves are to hold talks with Julen Lopetegui in the coming days with a view to finally bringing the former Sevilla manager to Molineux, according to a new report.

Lopetegui, 56, accepted the manager role at Wolves in 2016 - but was tempted away to take charge of the Spanish national team.

Six years on, the Midlands club need a new manager after firing Bruno Lage last weekend, and Lopetegui is now available after being dismissed by Sevilla on Wednesday night.
