Wolves manager Espirito Santo signs new contract

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo has signed a new three-year contract, the Premier League club said on Sunday.

The Portuguese joined Wolves in May 2017 and has transformed its fortunes, taking the club out of the second-tier Championship and turning it into a Premier League force.

Playing an exciting brand of football with a squad containing several Portuguese players including Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota, and Spanish winger Adama Traore, Wolves has finished seventh in successive seasons.

The side also played in Europe for the first time in 39 years, reaching the Europa League quarterfinal last season.

“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,” Espirito-Santo said.

Wolves begins the new Premier League season away to Sheffield United on Monday.
