Lopetegui was asked on the day of his farewell about an alleged offer from Wolverhampton, and he said that at that moment he was not thinking of returning to coaching. He had a personal problem, that of his father's delicate health, and he wanted to sign his severance package and go home to look after him.
At the time, it was even revealed that Julen Lopetegui already had a pre-agreement with the English club, but a month has passed without it coming to fruition. Now, however, it seems a good time for the former Sevilla FC coach to return to the bench, given that, according to El Partidazo de Cope, his father is already feeling much better.
It is taken for granted that Lopetegui will become the new manager of Wolves, currently second-bottom of the Premier League (10 points) and a club dominated by Jorge Mendes, who, together with Carlos Bucero, manages the Basque's affairs. As, by the way, also those of Rafa Mir (ex-Wolverhampton) or Isco Alarcon.
Lopetegui's time to return has arrived. Now, he will have the intention of once again taking a team out of the bottom of the table. This time, in the Premier League.
