Wolves have announced that Kenny Jackett’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect.

Following discussions over the last few days, Main Wolves Director, Jeff Shi, has made the decision to relieve Kenny Jackett of his duties.

An announcement regarding a new Head Coach will be made in due course.

In the following season, Wolves finished in seventh position, missing out on the play-offs on goal difference.

Jeff Shi, Main Wolves Director, said, “I would like to sincerely thank Kenny for everything he’s done for Wolves over the last three years.

“He’s shown true professionalism during his tenure and over the course of the transition to new ownership. I would like to wish him all the very best for the future.”

I think you could be right. I thought just after their Chinese take over that they would want a new man in charge, & with someone with SB's track record I think it would be a clear statement of intent, & a force to be reckoned with this season.

A new brush (Bruce) sweeps clean, as they say, but they probably planned this well before the actual take over date.
