Wolverhampton Wanderers are undergoing significant structural changes behind the scenes as the club confirms the departure of their head of player development while revealing surprising developments in their managerial search.
Major backroom shake-up sees key figure exit
Matt Hobbs, who served as Wolves' head of player development, has officially left the club after five years of service. During his tenure, Hobbs played a crucial role in developing young talent and overseeing the progression of players through the club's academy system.
Portuguese influence strengthens at Molineux
In a strategic move, Carlos Cachada has been appointed as the club's new sporting director. The Portuguese executive brings extensive experience from his previous role at Famalicão and is expected to work closely with manager Gary O'Neil in shaping the squad's future direction.
Manchester United boss out of contention
In a surprising twist to their managerial considerations, Wolves have ruled out a move for Manchester United's Erik ten Hag. Despite speculation linking the Dutch manager with a potential move to Molineux, club sources indicate he is no longer under consideration for any position within the setup.
What this means for Wolves' future
These developments signal a period of transition for the Midlands club as they restructure their football operations. The appointment of Cachada suggests a continued commitment to the Portuguese connection that has served the club well in recent years, while the managerial decision indicates a clear direction under O'Neil's leadership.
The changes come at a crucial time as Wolves prepare for the upcoming season, with fans eagerly watching how these backroom adjustments will translate to on-pitch performance in the competitive Premier League landscape.
