Terry Connor will coach Wolverhampton Wanderers until the end of the season, the club confirm.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have appointed Terry Connor as manager of the Premier League side until the end of the season.

Club owner Steve Morgan and chief executive Jez Moxey have decided to keep Connor at the helm for the remaining 13 games in the season following the dismissal of Mick McCarthy last week.

Connor, who was McCarthy's assistant manager at Molineux, was originally installed as head coach on a temporary basis while the club searched for a new boss.

While the likes of Alan Curbishley, Steve Bruce, Walter Smith and Gus Poyet have been reported candidates for the position, the West Midlands outfit have failed to clinch a permanent boss.

"Since we made the difficult decision to part company with Mick, we have been through a diligent process of assessing potential candidates," Morgan told the club's official website.

"Having spoken to a number of people we have drawn that process to a close and myself and the Board are unanimous that Terry is the right man to lead the club for the remainder of the season.

"This is a decisive step, which creates certainty, and the players are fully behind it. As a club, whether that be staff or supporters, we now all need to unite behind Terry and the players and secure as many points as possible over the next 13 games."

Connor's first game in charge is against Newcastle United tomorrow.
