Dean Saunders has been sacked by Wolves following their relegation from the Championship and the club are now looking for their fifth manager in less than 15 months.
Wolves owner Steve Morgan sacked Mick McCarthy, who had spent five-and-a-half years in charge, in February last year with the club struggling at the bottom end of the Premier League. McCarthy's assistant Terry Connor was appointed until the end of that season, but Wolves were relegated to the Championship with three games remaining. Connor was sacked the following July and Solbakken, who had lost his job at Cologne the previous month, was charged with guiding Wolves straight back to the top flight. But the Norwegian made little impact at Molineux and, after just half a season, with the club lying 18th in the Championship in January, he too was sacked and replaced two days later by Saunders. Former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker Saunders, who began his managerial career at Wrexham, took over as Doncaster manager in September 2011. He was unable to halt Doncaster's slide into League One last season, but galvanised the South Yorkshire club and steered them into second place in the table before leaving to take charge of Wolves. Doncaster secured an instant return to the Championship with victory at Brentford on the final day of the season under Brian Flynn, who has since stood down as Rovers manager.
