O’Neil set to speak to chairman before Manchester United game‘I’ll get the maximum I can out of the group of players’
Gary O’Neil has said he holds no concerns over the strength of his Wolves squad and is happy to attack the season without further signings, despite Julen Lopetegui departing because of a lack of transfer activity. O’Neil plans to speak with the Wolves chairman, Jeff Shi, for the first time before they begin the campaign at Manchester United on Monday.
Lopetegui informed Wolves of his wish to leave after a pre-season friendly against Celtic in Dublin at the end of last month, prompting the hierarchy to explore potential successors. O’Neil, who led Bournemouth to Premier League safety last season, was deemed the outstanding candidate and began a three-year contract as head coach on Wednesday. Lopetegui felt he did not have the tools to avoid a relegation battle.
