Nuno Espirito Santo says he is proud of the identify Wolves have cultivated during his three years at the club.

The Portuguese was speaking before Tuesday's Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla.

The occasion caps off an incredible journey from winning the Championship in the 2017/18 season.

"It's been a long journey, not only this season," Nuno said at a press conference.

"A long journey that started three seasons ago in the Championship. It's basically the same group of players. It was about trying to build a team, creating an identity, and we look forward to competing well and playing a good game.

"We've been able to create an identity. It's one of the most precious things in football - having an identity, based on a style of play and how we deal with our rules and tasks, how we deal with problems.

"Trying to create a team, recruiting players, some take time, some not, but this is what it's all about. We have to manage the result and I'm very proud of how we've done things and now I can say we have our own identity.

"It's based on strong foundations of respect and hard work, and this is what we want to show - a good team, with an identity, committed to the challenge."
