Wolves defender Bueno: Incredible Lopetegui now manager

Wolves defender Hugo Bueno has welcomed the appointment of new manager Julen Lopetegui.

Lopetegui becomes the first Spaniard to manage Wolves and countryman Bueno, who has broken into the team in recent weeks, is excited by his appointment.

Bueno said: “It's really good news and he's a top manager. He can bring lots of good things to our squad.

“Hopefully we can improve. It's incredible and I can't wait to work with him and get everything started.

“It's been a crazy month for me and signing a new contract is incredible, but I'm always thinking about the next step. I'm working hard."

Caretaker boss Steve Davis also said: “I haven't had a chance to speak to him yet but I'm looking forward to having a chat with him.

“If we sit down and speak to him we can tell him the areas we think we can get better. He will see that anyway. He has been watching the games and watched them training. He knows a lot of the players anyway, and he'll have his own ideas on what he'll want to bring in.

“In the future, it might be January, he will look at the squad. Maybe he thinks there is not enough there, maybe he thinks he needs more quality - better defenders - I'm not sure. If I was in his shoes I'd be looking to increase the numbers with some quality. I think it needs a little bit more. There is quality within the team and the confidence has grown over the last three or four games, and you can see the fight and that's important. You need that quality but at the moment it isn't enough because we are letting silly goals in."
