Wolves aim to make a swift appointment after the club took action in their relegation fight by sacking Gary O’Neil on Sunday morning.

O’Neil, who has been under growing pressure since the start of the season, was fired less than 24 hours after seeing his side lose 2-1 at home to Ipswich on Saturday. Wolves are 19th in the Premier League after four consecutive defeats, five points away from Leicester in 17th place, and have the worst defensive record in the top flight after conceding 40 goals in 16 games.
