Domenico Teti breaks silence on Wolves move as Jeff Shi shares early verdict on new director of football..
Wolves have announced a complete restructuring at the top following Matt Hobbs’ exit as sporting director.
Hobbs’ departure came as a surprise as the former sporting director left his post at the start of the summer transfer window.
During his time at Wolves, Hobbs conducted some terrific transfers as well as some that left a lot to be desired.
Now that the Englishman has gone, manager Vitor Pereira will be supported by a variety of figures, including super agent Jorge Mendes and newly appointed director of football, Domenico Teti.

Speaking after Teti’s unveiling, Shi explained that it was the businessman’s ‘international background and experience’ that earned him the job at Molineux.
“I’m pleased to welcome Domenico to Wolves as part of our football leadership team. His international background and experience at senior levels will bring fresh insight to the club and strengthen the structure supporting head coach Vitor Pereira and the first-team environment.”
