They have won just one and lost nine of their last 15 league games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBruno is an excellent coach, a hardworking and dedicated manager, and a warm, wise and honest man,\u201d Wolves chairman Jeff Shi said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly have no doubts about Bruno\u2019s ability, and I\u2019m sure he will succeed elsewhere, however the team\u2019s form and performances over the last few months mean that we have no choice but to act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe and his staff have been a pleasure to work with throughout their time at Wolves, so it is with much sadness that we have had to make what has been a difficult decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Youth team coaches Steve Davis and James Collins will prepare the team for Saturday\u2019s trip to Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves made a strong start to 2021-22 in Lage\u2019s debut campaign and were sixth at the end of November but their hopes of securing European football tailed off after an alarming seven-game winless run in the closing weeks of the season.<\/p>\n<p>A hefty transfer window outlay of more than 100 million pounds ($111.60 million) in a bid to improve on last term\u2019s tally of 38 league goals had raised expectations at Molineux but their dismal goal-shy run has continued into the current season.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves brought in Portuguese internationals Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Nunes \u2013 the latter for a reported club record fee \u2013 and last month signed veteran striker Diego Costa on a free transfer after injuries to Sasa Kalajdzic and Raul Jimenez.<\/p>\n<p>However, their only win this season came against Southampton \u2013 a 1-0 home victory in early September \u2013 and they have failed to score in five of their eight league games.<\/p>\n<p>($1 = 0.8961 pounds)<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Dhruv Munjal and Hritika Sharma in Bengaluru; Editing by Ken Ferris)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/soccer-wolves-dismiss-coach-lage\/attachment\/file-photo-premier-league-west-ham-united-v-wolverhampton\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI9108S-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI9108S-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Reuters) \u2013 Wolverhampton Wanderers sacked their Portuguese manager Bruno Lage on Sunday following a poor start to the Premier League campaign, with the club languishing in the relegation zone after<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1668945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1668945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1668945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1668945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1668945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
