Nuno has been pushed out of Wolves, it is reported.

The Sun says the 47-year-old Wolves boss was informed the club's owners Fosun wanted the club to go in a different direction, after four years under Nuno, during a meeting earlier this week.

Although Wolves announced his departure yesterday 'by mutual agreement', it was as a mark of respect to their popular head coach who had led the club from the depths of the Championship to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

The reality was Nuno knew tomorrow's game against Manchester United at Molineux would be his final farewell.

Incredibly, his players were only informed yesterday after their leader had held his usual pre-match conference at the club's Compton training base.

In keeping with his private nature, Nuno gave no hint of the drama which was about to follow - with only his closest staff allies in the know.

Wolves are already working on a replacement and hope to make an announcement in a fortnight's time.
