Midfielder Jack Price has acknowledged that the Wolverhampton Wanderers squad have been impressed with the passion shown by new head coach Walter Zenga.

The arrival of Zenga was met with a mixed reception, but the Italian has helped the club to eight points from five matches in the Championship as well as guiding the team to the third round of the EFL Cup.

The 23-year-old is quoted by the Express & Star as saying: "It's always good to have a gaffer that shows some passion and has his heart on his sleeve. After the Birmingham game, he said he had been thinking about doing a Mourinho run and slide on his knees after our third goal.

"You can see how much he cares. He has not come in just to do a job, he cares about the club. You could see all that with the passion after that game and it's from all the staff – there is a lot of enthusiasm there and the lads can feed off that."

Wolves are next in action when they host Burton Albion on Saturday afternoon.
