Ian Cathro is back in football as a first team coach at Wolves.
The former Hearts manager and Dundee United youth coach has been reunited with Nuno Espirito Santo, boss of the English Premier league club.
Cathro and Santo originally met on an SFA coaching course in 2009, and the Dundonian went on to become his assistant manager at Rio Ave in 2012.
There they enjoyed much success, including a sixth-place league finish, two cup finals and European qualification for the first time in the club’s history.
The Portugese then took his assistant to Valencia, before Cathro left the Mestella and took up a role as assistant manager at Newcastle United, before eight months managing Hearts.
Cathro said: “I am very excited about joining Wolves and looking forward to working with a coach and staff I know, trust and believe in.
“All of us share the same footballing philosophy and that is such an important factor for a successful coaching team.
“Wolves is a fantastic club with a rich history and lots of potential, and I can’t wait to get started.”
