Wolves have appointed Gary O'Neil as Julen Lopetegui's replacement as head coach.
The 40-year-old was sacked by Bournemouth in June despite guiding the Cherries to survival.
He has signed a three-year deal after Wolves and Lopetegui came to an "agreement to part ways" on Tuesday after disagreements over recruitment and the direction of the club.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: "We're delighted to welcome Gary to the club."
"He's a highly-motivated young coach with strong principles and very well thought of by everyone he has worked with, and we're excited to see what we can achieve together at Wolves.
"Our players have shown their quality during pre-season, and I believe Gary and his team will continue to coach and improve them and will have success working with this group.
"Everyone at Wolves is looking forward to welcoming Gary, offering him their full support and working collaboratively to help the club to keep pushing forward together."
With just a couple of days until the Premier League season kicks off O'Neil's first match in charge will be against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday.
