Steve Davis to remain Wolves manager until 2023

Wolves have confirmed they will not replace current interim manager Steve Davis until 2023.

Davis took charge after Bruno Lage was dismissed with the Wanderers 18th in the Premier League in early October. They remain in the bottom three but did pick up a win recently against Nottingham Forest.

Wolves had been targeting Queens Park Rangers boss Michael Beale as their next gaffer, but it was revealed earlier on Thursday that he has decided to remain with the Championship outfit.

Chairman Jeff Shi said: “In the short time Steve and his team have been in interim charge of the first-team, we have already seen improvements to the group, with the players responding well to their methods and the changes they have started to implement.

“Steve understands the culture and standards set at this club, and we want to give him and his team clarity on their positions and allow them the best possible opportunity for success.

“While there are no outstanding candidates to appoint on a permanent basis to the head coach position, we have complete faith in their ability and leadership to continue their roles into the World Cup break and new year.

“We have no plans to rush our search for a new permanent head coach and will not compromise in any way our approach to appointing the person we believe to be the perfect fit for our club, our squad and the role of head coach at Wolves.”

Wolves have been turned down by both Beale and former Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui in their search for a new manager. They are next in action on Sunday, when they host Leicester.
