Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Bruno Lage is facing a ‘huge few weeks’ following a slow start to the season, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. The 46-year-old’s position in the Molineux dugout has come under scrutiny in recent months, and a busy October schedule could have far-reaching consequences for his tenure.
Lage made an impressive start to life at Wolves after arriving in the summer of 2021 and had his side challenging for a place in the top four of the Premier League standings during his first few months at the helm.
However, a 1-0 defeat away at Arsenal on February 10 derailed the Midlands outfit’s European push, sparking a run of just five victories in their final 16 top-flight fixtures.
Wolves ended up finishing last season in 10th position as a result, and Lage has been unable to change their fortunes in the opening stages of the current campaign.
