Wolves chairman Jeff Shi has expressed his delight over the recent contract announcement for manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The Wolves boss has agreed on a new three-year deal with the old gold, which will keep him at Molineux until 2023. Shi outlines what Nuno has brought to Wolves, and goes on to explain why the future looks bright at Molineux. On the other hand, the Portuguese coach described the contract extension as a new cycle for him and nothing that he has done so far during his time at the club matters.
Jeff Shi said “Nuno really is the special one to Wolves. He’s also my teacher in football, He’s brought us a clear identity, and all the work we have done to build our first team over the last three years started from the identity created in Nuno’s head. He is a guy born for football, living for football. To him Wolves is not only a job, but also a unique team to work with to fulfil his football ideal. It’s my pleasure and honour to have worked with him for three seasons, in which we have experienced many unforgettable moments together and made some achievements together. Now, we are standing at the door to a new cycle. The story of Wolves’ football evolution under Nuno’s leadership is continuing with even more passion and determination than before. The board and I are all very happy to see Nuno’s commitment to the club, now let’s open the next chapter for our pack.”
Nuno Espirito Santo said “It’s a new cycle, no matter what you did before, it’s about what’s in front of us and this is what we think we should do, when new players come in, its the expectation of trying to help those players to get better so they can help the team and grow, because the club is growing, the project is moving forward step by step, each day with the same ambition of becoming a big big club. Let’s look at us and what we know is that what we did in the past can only show us the way to the future.”
