Premier League side Wolves could reappoint former head coach Nuno Santo as talks with Julen Lopetegui appear to have broken down.
Lopetegui was immediately established as their first choice as a replacement, following his departure from Sevilla, after matching Lage’s league return in recent weeks, and failing to win a Champions League game.
According to reports from BBC Sport, Wolves chairman Jeff Shi flew to Spain to open negotiations with Lopetegui, ahead of a contract offer.
As per fresh reports from the Daily Mail, Wolves have now turned to Santo as an option, with the 48-year-old currently out of a job.
The Portuguese manager led Wolves to their most successful top flight streak in club history, with successive 7th place finishes in 2019 and 2020, before joining Tottenham in 2021.
