English club Wolverhampton and Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui reached an agreement on Tuesday to break their engagement, the Premier League club announced, ending the Basque coach’s nine months in charge.
“The coach and the club are aware and accept their differences of opinion on some issues and agree that a friendly end to his contract was the best solution for all parties,” Wolves said in a statement.
Julen Lopetegui leaves his position as coach of the ‘Wolves’ a few days before the start of the Premier League season, according to the English press, as he is not happy with the club’s transfer policy.
Lopetegui, a former manager of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid, joined Wolves in November when the club was bottom of the Premier League and helped them achieve permanence.
But at the beginning of this campaign, he would have shown his frustration with his club’s movements in the transfer market, in which several first-team players left and few arrived.
‘Wolves’ sold Ruben Neves, Conor Coady, Nathan Collins and Raúl Jiménez, bringing only two players, who arrived with the freedom card, Matt Doherty and Tom King.
In his own statement, Lopetegui stated that “I wish Wolves and everyone at the club the best of luck in the future, and I thank them for the opportunity they gave me at the time to take charge of this wonderful club.” .
«It has been an honor to enjoy this adventure. Also, of course, I want to thank the players, who have always given their all to achieve our goals, and especially the fans, who made me feel like one of them from the very beginning and have always been wonderful to me, my technical team and my family.
