Wolves make managerial decision after former Liverpool coach turns down job

Steve Davis will remain in caretaker charge of Wolves until 2023 after former Liverpool youth coach Michael Beale turned down an offer to take over at the Midlands club.

Ex-Crewe Alexandra boss Davis has taken interim charge at Molineux since the sacking of Bruno Lage at the start of October, but those in charge at the club have seen two potential successors turn down the permanent role since. Former Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui was the club's first-choice but opted against a move to England for family reasons.

That moved them on to Beale, who had spent time as a coach with Liverpool's youth set-up - where he nurtured the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold - before joining Steven Gerrard at Rangers and then Aston Villa. The 42-year-old took on his first managerial role with Queens Park Rangers in June and is enjoying an excellent start to life at Loftus Road, with his side top of the Championship.
