Following the termination of Kenny Jackett’s contract as Wolves head coach on Friday night, take a look at how supporters reacted to the decision.
The decision to end his three-year spell in charge comes after the club’s recent ownership takeover.
From a record-breaking 103 point season in League 1, to narrowly missing out on the Championship play-offs down to goal difference, Kenny Jackett had brought some joy to the Molineux. Here’s how some Wolves fan’s reacted to the late night news…
Thanks Kenny. That League 1 season was truly unforgettable #wwfc pic.twitter.com/FvT8Go6e5k

why didn't they just announce the sacking sooner then if that's the case? Don't need to wait for a new manager to be on scene

KJ a top bloke & excellent manager. Job he did in 1st 2 seasons phenomenal. Will always be grateful & wish him well. #wwfc

Inevitably jackett's sacking especially as his job had already been offered to another person but still quite sad to see him go

Many Wolves fans show their praise and thanks towards Kenny Jackett. As it appears a replacement is already lined up, the speculation began to grow. In the club statement, it read that an announcement regarding a new head coach would be made “in due course.”
So Steve Bruce back to his Solihull home then!#WWFC

Surely Fosun have someone waiting in the wings? They wouldn't sack KJ without being sure on a replacement. This is Wolves however. #wwfc

Andre Villas-Boas please Wolves
— Marc Twinberrow (@mwt91) July 29, 2016
The fact that we've got three Portuguese transfers supposedly coming in would lean towards Andre Villas-Boas being linked to Wolves.

The initial reactions are mixed, as it was expected the new ownership would affect Jackett’s position, despite Jeff Shi previously backing him in charge. Who will the replacement be? Only time will tell…
