Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has declared his interest to leave the club which he joined in 2017 after their final Premier League match of the season against Manchester United on Sunday; moreover, The Midlands club is in talks with the former Benfica manager Bruno Lage over potentially taking over.
The 47-year-old who arrived at Wolves after been sacked by Porto at the end of a trophy-less season in 2017 has been able to win the Championship title in his first season at Molineux with two games, hence led the club back to the Premier League, restored the side's Premier League status and had also been able to lead them to a Europa League quarter-final in 2020.
According to Nuno "Since the first day we arrived at Compton, our ambition was to make a positive change and push this football club forward, and I am proud to say that we did that every single day. We achieved our goals, we did it with passion and we did it together.
"Firstly, I want to thank the supporters, who have all played such an important part in helping us reach new heights for Wolves, and the people of the city, who embraced us and made us feel at home.
"I, of course, want to thank all of the staff at Wolves, for their support and total commitment, every single day.
"Most importantly, I want to thank each-and-every player that we've worked with since the day we started, for their loyalty, dedication, hard work and talent. They are the ones who have made this amazing journey possible for us.
"Sunday will be a very emotional day, but I am so happy that the fans will be back in Molineux and we can share one last special moment together, as one pack."
Wolves executive chairman Jeff Shi praised Nuno's influence at the club and says the return of fans at Molineux on Sunday will provide the manager with a fitting farewell as he seeks a new challenge.
"Nuno has brought us some incredibly special moments at Wolves that will never be forgotten, but every chapter comes to an end," Shi said.
"His loyalty and dedication over the last four years have been immeasurable, and we cannot thank him enough for the progress he has made for Wolves.
"Sunday was already going to be a very special day, welcoming our supporters back for the first time in more than a year; but it will also now be a fitting goodbye for someone who will forever remain an important part of Wolves history."
