Wolves are in talks with Nuno EspÃrito Santo about their former manager returning to Molineux.
Wolves are conducting an extensive recruitment process after Spaniard Julen Lopetegui turned down the job.
Portuguese coach Nuno was effectively sacked by Wolves in 2021 after a difficult season where performances dipped following successive seventh-placed finishes.
He remains popular with Wolves fans despite a brief, unsuccessful spell at Tottenham.
In July Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad had named him their coach on a two-year contract.
Nuno’s first stint with Wolves featured an impressive promotion to the Premier League in his first season in charge.
He also oversaw a run to the quarter-finals of the Europa League as the club returned to continental competition for the first time in 39 years.
However, momentum slowed significantly in his fourth and final season in charge with Wolves finishing 13th. The team won only three of his last 13 matches at the helm.
The Wanderers are in the relegation zone with just one win from nine Premier League games this season.
BattaBox had reported a couple of days ago how Julen Lopetegui had turned down the chance to take over as manager of the club.
An information which had come from Spanish football expert Guillem Balagué.
The 56-year-old Lopetegui met with the Premier League side’s chairman Jeff Shi over the vacant manager’s job at Molineux following the sacking of Bruno Lage.
Lopetegui’s father is not well and that played a part in his decision.
He had impressed the club’s hierarchy when they first spoke to him about becoming their manager. This happened in the summer of 2016.
On that occasion, after a 10-day negotiation, the Spanish federation approached Lopetegui and he became Spain manager.
