Wolves have identified Michael Beale as their primary candidate to take over from Bruno Lage, less than a year on from him leaving his post as Rangers assistant.
The former Liverpool coach was Steven Gerrard's right-hand man at Ibrox when they won the Premiership in 2021 and was credited with a large amount of the tactical work undertaken. He left to join Aston Villa as number two last November but became his own man in the summer by taking the head coach role at English Championship side QPR.
Recent rumours have even suggested Beale for a potential return to Rangers as gaffer if Giovanni van Bronckhorst was to leave that position. But The Athletic now claim Wolves have him as their 'number one target' 'are expected to move quickly, with contact anticipated between Wolves and his current club Queens Park Rangers to discuss his potential release.' Contact between both parties hasn't yet been made though, it's stated.
