Domenico Teti was brought into Wolves due to his relationship and previous work alongside Vitor Pereira, but with the head coach now sacked, it has left fans wondering what his role will be.
During the summer, Teti worked alongside Pereira to determine which players to sign in the transfer window.
Then, earlier in October, Teti was linked with a move to Juventus, and the potential departure of the director of professional football left fans happy.
The Italian has barely been at the club and has had just one transfer window, but his work has not impressed fans. Only Ladislav Krejci has been a success out of the summer signings so far.
Now, it has been reported if he will have any more time to showcase his qualities at Wolves after Vitor Pereira was let go.
Domenico Teti’s role at Wolves now
The future of Domenico Teti at Wolves has been reported, and the news will likely disappoint fans.
Teti has not impressed fans at all since joining.
However, he looks set to remain on as sporting director at Wolves despite Vitor Pereira’s sacking.
According to journalist Alex Crook, Teti was hired by the club and not as an aid for Pereira. The Italian will remain in his role and is helping with the search for a new manager.
That search is already underway, and in just one day since the decision on Pereira was made, there have been quite a few names put into the hat.
Rui Borges was linked, and fans had a mixed reaction to his potential appointment.
However, Borges has now ruled himself out of the running for the role.
Additionally, Michael Carrick remained tight-lipped when questioned about his managerial future. It will be interesting to see who eventually lands the job.
The next manager should not have as much influence as Vitor Pereira
Vitor Pereira had heavy influence on transfers, with the former head coach requiring ‘tall and athletic’ players.
This meant that Wolves turned down the chance to sign several players who could have helped them stay up, including David Brooks.
Pereira’s role in transfers was short-sighted, and ultimately he has now paid the price.
The next manager should, of course, have a say in the players that are signed, but he should not be given the level of trust that Wolves gave Pereira.
