Wolves dismiss coach Lage with club in relegation zone

Wolverhampton Wanderers sacked their Portuguese manager Bruno Lage on Sunday following a poor start to the Premier League campaign, with the club languishing in the relegation zone after one win in their opening eight games, Report informs, citing the club's press service.

Wolves have managed to score only three goals so far, and Saturday's 2-0 defeat at West Ham United was their fourth of the season, leaving them in 18th place with six points.

"Bruno is an excellent coach, a hardworking and dedicated manager, and a warm, wise and honest man. I honestly have no doubts about Bruno's ability, and I'm sure he will succeed elsewhere, however, the team's form and performances over the last few months mean that we have no choice but to act," said Wolves chairman Jeff Shi.
