Five goalkeepers that turned managers
Former Italy and Inter Milan goalkeeper Walter Zenga now has the fate of Wolves in his hands after being unveiled as new Molineux head coach.
Joe Edwards looks at five other former shot-stoppers who have moved into management after hanging up their gloves.
1 JULEN LOPETEGUI
When rumours of the takeover at Molineux were running rampant, Lopetegui, inset centre, was the man linked with the hot-seat.
Of course, he ended up taking the Spain job but insisted if the post had not came up he 'would now be coach at Wolverhampton'.
Before becoming a manager, he made 149 appearances in La Liga over 11 seasons for the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano.
2 PETER SHILTON
One of England's most recognised shot-stoppers, Shilton appeared in five major tournaments for the Three Lions and earned a whopping 125 caps.
After retiring from international football, he joined Derby County and then moved on to Plymouth Argyle to become player-manager.
He lasted three years there before returning to the Premier League and joining Wimbledon as a player, aged 46.
Shilton retired with Leyton Orient at the end of the 1996/97 season.
3 HARRY GREGG
The Northern Irishman is credited as the 'Hero of the Munich' for saving some of his Manchester United team-mates during the Munich air disaster. Gregg made a total of 247 appearances for the club and also played for Doncaster Rovers and Stoke City.
He was given his first job in management at Shrewsbury Town in 1968, where he lasted four years before taking the reins at Swansea City, Crewe Alexandra and Carlisle United.
4 DINO ZOFF
Zoff is the oldest ever winner of the World Cup – aged 40 years, four months and 13 days when Italy clinched the trophy in 1982.
No doubt a hero of new Wolves boss Zenga, he went on to manage some of the big teams in the Serie A.
He took charge at Juventus in 1988, where he won the Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup in his second season.
Three separate spells at Lazio, with a stint as Italy boss in between, followed before his last job at Fiorentina in 2005.
5 RAY CLEMENCE
As a player, Clemence won all the major English and European trophies except the Cup Winners' Cup.
He also made 61 appearances for England between 1972 and 1984. Perhaps what is forgotten though is that he moved to Barnet as joint manager with Gary Phillips in 1994.
Ray would then go on to take sole charge of the club for two seasons, guiding them to ninth and 13th-placed finishes in Division Three.
