The announcement comes along with a three-year contract for O’Neil, marking a notable shift in the club’s leadership.Spanish manager Lopetegui’s tenure at Wolves was cut short after less than a year, fueled by differences of opinion within the club. With just three days remaining until the commencement of the new season, his abrupt exit left the Premier League team in need of fresh leadership.Gary O’Neil, who recently guided Bournemouth to Premier League survival, will now take the helm at Wolves. His journey began as a caretaker manager at Bournemouth in August of the previous year, a role that eventually evolved into a full-time position in November.

He becomes the club’s youngest manager in the current millennium, assuming the reins at a crucial juncture.
