2019–20 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season

2019–20 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season

142nd season in existence of Wolverhampton Wanderers


The 2019–20 season was the 142nd in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers and the 3rd under then-head coach Nuno Espírito Santo. In that season, they competed in the Premier League for the 2nd consecutive time, the EFL Cup, the FA Cup and in a UEFA/continental competition for the first time since 1980–81 through/via the UEFA Europa League.

Quick Facts Chairman, Head coach ...

As a result of the suspension of competitive football in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club were unable to play any match for 3 months since the UEL match on 12 March.[1] A restart of the Premier League was made on 17 June,[2] with the club returning to action 3 days later.[3]

The team repeated their 7th-place finish of the previous Premier League season – with an improved points tally – but, as a result of Arsenal winning the FA Cup, this position was not sufficient to qualify for the UEFA Europa League again.[4] A top-6 position would only have been guaranteed with victory on the final day, but Wolves lost 0–2 at Chelsea.[5] Their continental campaign concluded at the quarter-final stage of a modified single-leg final tournament in Germany with defeat to the eventual winners Sevilla, lasting 383 days in total[6] and signified their best performance in a UEFA competition since reaching the inaugural UEFA Cup Final in 1972.

Competitions

Pre-season

Wolves were one of four teams invited to take part in the biennial Premier League Asia Trophy, which the team won. Owing to their participation in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League, these were the only other games the club undertook before the start of the league season.
