Concierge boss Steve Davis will remain in charge of Wolves until the new year.
The Premier League fighters have opted to give Davis an extended spell after QPR head coach Michael Beale turned down the chance to move to Molineux.
The rejection also followed Julen Lopetegui’s decision to turn down Wolves for personal reasons.
Wolves have been looking for a new manager since Bruno Lage’s resignation earlier this month and Davis has been in charge for three games.

“I was really focused here and everything came out of the blue. These things really snowball and everyone has an opinion and a vision.’
