Wolverhampton releases manager Lopetegui 2 days before season opener

English Premier League club Wolverhampton ends up without a manager days before the start of the new season.

The “Wolves” management released Julen Lopetegui before the team’s first official match on Friday.

As the reason for the separation from the club, they point out “difference in the opinions of the two parties”.

Lopetegui joined Wolverhampton nine months ago and has been able to fulfill the purpose for which he was brought in, which was to save the team from relegation. However, the Spaniard leaves due to the troubled transfer summer.
