The Scot left Molineux today with Wolves saying he and the club had agreed to part company.

Lambert became the third head coach to depart Wolves in the past 10 months and it's expected that Nuno Espirito Santo will be named as his successor on Wednesday.

Lambert has released a statement via the League Managers' Association.

He said: “I would like to say goodbye and thank you to the supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers for their backing throughout last season. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as head coach of the club and I wish everyone at Wolves the very best of luck next season and beyond.

“We have had some great moments to look back on, especially the performances in the FA Cup against Liverpool and Stoke, and I’m confident that this current group of lads can push on next season to compete with the best in the league.

“It’s a great club which is fortunate to have some incredibly dedicated staff throughout. I’d like to thank the board and everyone at the club, from the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground to Molineux, for their hard work and efforts in supporting the first team this year.

“Although it is disappointing to be leaving after only a short period of time, I hope to enjoy a short break with my family this summer before preparing myself for my next challenge in football.”
