Julen Lopetegui is relishing the start of his competitive career at Molineux as Wolves prepare to face Sky Bet League Two strugglers Gillingham in the Carabao Cup.

Lopetegui replaced the sacked Bruno Lage in November and has led his non-World Cup stars through a series of friendly matches against Birmingham and in Spain.
