Wolves full-back Hugo Bueno says ‘it’s incredible’ that Wolves have hired Julen Lopetegui.
Wanderers finally confirmed the Spaniard as their new head coach at the weekend ahead of the game with Brighton.
Bruno Lage was sacked at the start of October, and fans have had to be very patient with the search for his successor.
Lopetegui was always Wolves’ top target.
Of course initially, he did actually turn the club down to focus on family.
But the picture changed, talks recommenced and by Saturday, he had been announced.
Wolves officials are now hoping that he can come in and provide the lift that is so desperately needed at the moment.
It is a big job – Wolves have been awful so far this season and many players have underperformed.
One player who cannot be accused of that is young Hugo Bueno, who came into the starting XI last month.
The starlet has seized his opportunity at Molineux and is currently the number one choice at left-back. And he is excited by the appointment of his fellow Spaniard.
He said (Express & Star): “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.”
Hugo Bueno could really kick on under Julen Lopetegui
It is little surprise Bueno is really excited by the appointment of Lopetegui.
Potentially he could really develop nicely under a top coach like him and obviously they share the same nationality so communication will be very easy.
Bueno has looked excellent so far since becoming a first-team starter under Steve Davis.
It is exciting to think about the level he could reach under Lopetegui.
He just has to keep his head down and continue to work hard. That’s how he got to where he is, so there is every chance he will continue on this upward trajectory.
