Steve Davis was named interim boss until the end of the season, but failed to impress before being replaced by Julen Lopetegui, under whom Wolves won nine games to secure safety.
Wolves had sacked Bruno Lage in November with the club in 18th spot. Todd Boehly and his fellow co-owners are now expected to turn to former Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino in the hope of transforming their expensive squad into a force in the 2023/24 season, without Chelsea's usual distractions of European football after their 12th-placed finish, the worst since 1994.ġ3) WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS: An ultimately comfortable 13th-placed finish fails to adequately tell the story of a turbulent season in which Wolverhampton Wanderers spent weeks flirting with relegation, had two managerial changes and struggled in front of goal. Former Stamford Bridge hero Frank Lampard was drafted in for the remainder of the campaign but he won only one of his 11 games with the same lack of cutting edge in front of goal dogging his time in charge. Their early-season decision to fire Champions League-winning coach Thomas Tuchel and replace him with Brighton & Hove Albion's Graham Potter proved disastrous - despite more than 500 million pounds ($631 million) lavished on a host of new players - and Potter was himself fired in April. They ended up finishing 12th - one of their lowest positions ever in the Premier League. 12) CHELSEA: Chelsea's big-spending American owners have had a first season to forget after buying the club in a deal worth 4.25 billion pounds a year ago.
