Holdout for England

Julen Lopetegui, former manager of Wolves, has revealed that he is holding out for a managerial job in the Premier League. Despite leaving Wolves in August due to a lack of transfer support, Lopetegui remains in Wolverhampton and expressed his desire to continue his career in England.

Premier League's Appeal

In an interview with Sky Sports, Lopetegui referred to English football culture as "special" and the Premier League as the "best league in the world." He turned down opportunities from overseas to pursue a challenge in the highly competitive and captivating atmosphere of English football.

Ambition and Project

Lopetegui expressed his desire to work on a project where he can put his stamp on it and improve the performance of the entire club. He wants to be part of a team that aims for titles and has a clear vision for success.

Patiently Waiting

Despite rumors linking him to Manchester United, Lopetegui is remaining patient and waiting for the right opportunity. Reports suggested that he was a strong contender to replace Erik ten Hag as the boss of Man Utd, but Lopetegui is prepared to wait for the right challenge.

Nottingham Forest's Loss

Lopetegui may have been disappointed to see Nuno Espirito Santo appointed as the boss of Nottingham Forest, as it was a potential opportunity that slipped away. Following the departure of Steve Cooper, Lopetegui was not chosen for the role.

Julen Lopetegui has previously managed the Spanish national team, Real Madrid, and Sevilla, and has a successful track record, including winning the Europa League with Sevilla.
