(Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers have appointed former Italy goalkeeper Walter Zenga as their new head coach, the English Championship club said on Saturday.

Wolves acted quickly in naming a replacement after they sacked manager Kenny Jackett on Friday, a little more than a week after China-based Fosun Group took over the second tier side from long-standing owner Steve Morgan.
