Wolves are monitoring Julen Lopetegui's position at Sevilla with the former Spain boss held in high regard after he was Fosun owners' first choice when they first took over the club in 2016

Wolves are monitoring the position of former Spain boss Julen Lopetegui with his role at Sevilla under increasing pressure.

The Molineux club are looking for a new manager after sacking Bruno Lage on Sunday and are thought to be following developments with Lopetegui, who has long been admired by owners Fosun.

Lopetegui was Fosun’s first choice to become manager when they took control of Wolves in 2016, but instead accepted an offer to become Spanish national coach.
