Nuno Espirito Santo: 'An unquestioned success' – but what next for club & the Portuguese manager?

To appreciate the full scale of Nuno Espirito Santo’s impact at Wolves, you have to wind back to July 2016.

The club’s new owners, Chinese conglomerate Fosun International, sacked Kenny Jackett a week after taking control and days after saying the English manager’s job was safe.

Jackett’s replacement, the Italian Walter Zenga, lasted 17 games and 87 days. He won just six times.

Paul Lambert then took over but a 15th-place Championship finish was uninspiring.
