Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed that Stale Solbakken will become the club's new manager in July.
Reports emerged yesterday claiming that the former Cologne boss was close to agreeing a move to the recently-relegated club.
Club chief executive Jez Moxey told the club's official website: "Following talks with Stale Solbakken I am happy to confirm that he has agreed to become our new manager. He will be formally introduced to the media on Monday."
Solbakken added: "I am delighted to be taking up the important challenge to manage Wolves. It's an exciting opportunity to manage a great club and I can't wait to get started."
Current boss Terry Connor will finish the season with the Midlands club this weekend and will keep a coaching role within the setup when the former Denmark international takes charge.
