‘It’s true’: Former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui makes claim in new interview after recent …
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui has openly discussed his decision to decline numerous offers following his departure from the club just days before the start of the new season.
Lopetegui’s exit from Wolves was motivated by his frustration with the club’s financial situation, particularly changes in player recruitment that left him feeling ill-equipped for the role.
Lopetegui, residing in Wolverhampton, has hinted at a strong desire for another Premier League opportunity, reaffirming his commitment to the English football scene. Despite reportedly turning down an offer from Saudi club Al Ittihad, the 57-year-old coach emphasized that he is selectively evaluating potential projects, waiting for the opportune moment to contribute his expertise to a club.
Acknowledging that he has rejected offers from various countries, Lopetegui expressed his preference for patience, waiting until he identifies the right situation where he can make a meaningful impact.
When directly questioned about his focus on the Premier League, Lopetegui affirmed that it is indeed true, marking a consistent stance from his previous statements expressing a keen interest in remaining within the English top-flight.
The seasoned coach appears determined to secure another managerial position in the Premier League, evident in the series of interviews he has conducted since leaving Wolves. With the season approaching its midway point, Lopetegui seems to recognize the importance of visibility, possibly anticipating managerial changes that frequently occur around this time.
Speculation has linked him to potential openings at Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and even loosely with Manchester United, underscoring Lopetegui’s commitment to returning to management at the highest level in English football.
