Before the former Benfica boss was announced as the new man at the helm of the old gold, the 45-year-old – who has previous experience of working in the UK with Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City – spent yesterday touring Compton Park and Molineux, as he got to grips with his fresh surroundings.
With the first-team not due back in Wolverhampton until early July for pre-season, Lage hopes to spend his first few weeks in the role getting to know everyone and everything Wolves has to offer, enabling him to build a tight-knit bond as the club enters a new cycle.
On taking up his new role
“First of all, I’m very happy. It’s a big opportunity. I’m very happy because I’ve returned to this country, and to be the manager of a big team.
“It’s a team and a club that wants to do history and a chance to compete in the Premier League. So, I’m happy, excited, with a big ambition to do great things for this club.”

On his initial targets at Wolves
“I’ll be trying to know everyone, to see what the club has to offer, and my first idea is to try to link everyone together.
“I want to create a good dynamic of group, with my staff, with all the departments of the club. I have tried to link all together to start to build up the new cycle.
“I think it’s a good opportunity to understand what Nuno [Espirito Santo] did in these four years and my ambition is to continue and to improve what he did.”
