Former Benfica boss Bruno Lage is long odds-on to take over as Wolves boss following Nuno Espirito Santo's departure.
Nuno said he “only can see good things” ahead for Wolves after bowing out as the club’s manager on Sunday.
The Portuguese coach oversaw the final game of his four-year tenure as his side were beaten 2-1 at home by Manchester United. Wolves had announced two days earlier that he was to leave the club by mutual agreement after the fixture.
He spent four seasons in charge at Molineux, earning promotion from the Championship and guiding the club to the quarter-finals of the Europa League after the first of back-to-back seventh-placed finishes in the Premier League.
But who will be at the helm at Molineux for the start of the 2021/21 campaign? Bruno Lage is a long odds-on favourite to take charge.

Who is Bruno Lage?
Former Benfica boss Bruno Lage has been heavily back of late, suggesting he is Wolves' number one choice to replace Nuno.
Lage won the Portuguese top flight with Benfica in 2019 but was sacked in July 2020 following a club record five home matches without a win.
The 47-year-old is a client of Jorge Mendes and has previously worked in Britain as assistant manager to Carlos Carvalhal at Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City.
