Podence admits 'something had to change' at Wolves following Lage sacking | OneFootball

Daniel Podence has opened up about the dynamics at Wolves following the sacking of manager Bruno Lage.

The 26-year-old winger held nothing back during a recent interview with Sky Sports admitting ‘something had to change.’

“[The sacking] is very sad because it means us as players didn’t make a good job as well,” Podence said.

“We are playing in a good way but we are not winning points or games. It’s not just about the boss, it’s us as well. It makes us feel bad.

“At the same point, we needed something new or a different way to do things because players were not doing so good in training sessions or at matches. Something had to change and the club realised the boss had to go.

“We have to accept it and we have to deal with it now with a different [boss]. As players, we have to demand much more from each other.

“It’s a mix of everything: the system and the management. Even the players were getting comfortable and we needed something different and now we have it.”

“We have been watching a lot of teams sacking their manager and still doing a bad job so I think us as players, we have to think and realise that we have to do so much more.”

Since Lage’s departure Wolves have been linked with current Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui to take over as the club looks to improve from their 18th place position in the Premier League table.
