Walter Zenga named new Wolves boss as Kenny Jackett sacked

The Italia 90 star is set for the midlands club.

FORMER ITALY GOALKEEPER Walter Zenga has been appointed Wolves boss.

Kenny Jacket was sacked by the club late last night.

Zenga who faced Ireland at Italia ’90 has previously coached Steaua Bucharest, Red Star Belgrade and Serie A sides, Catania, Palermo and Sampdoria.

Jeff Shi, Wolves’ Main Director, said: “We’re delighted to appoint Walter as the new Head Coach of Wolves.

“He has an excellent track record both as a player and as a coach, and a wealth of experience he can bring to his new role at Wolves.

“Walter is a hugely passionate personality who lives for football and is fiercely determined to succeed in everything that he does.

“We are looking forward to working with him, and supporting him in the shared aim of trying to help Wolves achieve promotion back to the Premier League.”

Jackett had been at Molineux since 2013, guiding Wolves back to the Championship in his first season following a record 103-point haul. Wolves finished seventh the following season, missing the play-offs on goal difference, while Jackett could only lead the club to 14th last term.
