Handball rule needs to change, says Wolves boss Nuno

The 45-year-old is confident the rule will be reviewed and feels coaches, players and fans have made it clear that the situation cannot continue

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo believes football's handball rule needs to be changed, saying fans have made their frustration with it "clear and loud".

The League Managers Association (LMA) this week wrote to the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to raise concerns surrounding recent changes to the law.

The rule, changed ahead of the current season, states that a goal scored with an accidental handball will not count.
