Nuno Espirito Santo signs new three-year deal with Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has signed a new three-year deal with the Premier League Side.

This afternoon it has been confirmed that Santo has renewed his deal having led the club to a seventh-placed finish in the league last season.

The Portuguese, 46, has been rewarded with a contract extension following the success he has had as head coach since his appointment in 2017.

Santo took charge of the club while they were in the Championship, and after a swift promotion to the Premier League he has overseen consecutive seventh-placed finishes as well as leading the club to the Europa League quarter-finals last season for the first time in 50 years.

The news comes on the eve of Wolves' first league game of the new season, with the Molineux club due to take on Sheffield United on Monday evening.

Despite continued success over recent years, Santo is only looking forward to the new season.

He said: “I feel good. Ready for it. Looking forward to it. Working really hard for it, because it’s a new cycle, no matter what you did before, it’s about what’s in front of us and this is what we think we should do.

“Let’s prepare well, let’s challenge, do the way we do things, fight for it.”
