Wolves football chief Matt Hobbs says they will hire a new goalkeeper coach.

Tony Roberts has left for AC Milan, with Scott Bevan stepping up from the U21s on a temporary basis.

Hobbs told the club's website: Scott's worked with Julen and the first-team before, so we'll see if it feels right, while considering other options too. We're staying open minded, it's pre-season so we've got time to make the right decision it's a lot about the personality and how they fit in, because Tony was a big character. When there's change, there's always apprehension, but the beauty in having experienced goalkeepers is that transition is easier.

We won't allow it to go on for too long, because the new person needs to start working with the goalkeepers and staff. Scott will have an elongated time in Portugal and Dublin, and we'll see where we are after that.

Tony can walk away proud of what he's leaving behind. It's football, people leave, which provides opportunities for others. We're excited to see what the next step is for us, there's good people in the building and interesting candidates on the outside, who have expressed an interest, so we'll make sure we make the right decision."
