An agent has claimed that there is a chance that Bruno Lage could now leave Wolves to take on the vacant Corinthians job.

The Lowdown: Sylvinho out

As per The Sun, former Arsenal and FC Barcelona star Sylvinho was sacked as manager of Brazilian club Corinthians earlier this week, after fans threatened to destroy the stadium while losing a local derby to Santos.

It means that they are in the hunt for a new coach, specifically a Portuguese one, given their huge success in Brazil in the past.

The Latest: Lage in?

As per PodcasTimao (via ESPN Brasil), agent Will Dantas has suggested Lage's name to Corinthians president Duilio Monteiro Alves, albeit claiming that it would be 'very difficult' to lure him away from the Midlands club and the Premier League. Alves will apparently 'look into it':

"I called Duilio and commented on a coach. It's Bruno Lage, I met him at Benfica, when he was coach of the club. He approved Pedrinho when I took him to the team. I spent an hour talking to the guy while Pedrinho did the exams.

"I think if Corinthians brought him in, it would be a big name. Duilio said he was going to look into it because they offered him the world. He's studying his options and he's absolutely right. Bruno was very flattered and was happy with the conversation, but I find it very difficult for him to leave. Today he is perhaps in the main league in the world, in the Premier League."

The Verdict: Very unlikely

It seems very unlikely that Lage would leave Molineux now, especially given that he is in the middle of his first season and managing outside of the top European leagues may not be an attractive enough option for him.

Nonetheless, he is doing a superb job at the Wanderers, guiding them to eighth place in the top flight so far having conceded the second-fewest number of goals in the entire division, only behind current leaders Manchester City.

Thus, we feel Lage is likely to stay at WWFC and not be swayed by the Corinthians vacancy no matter what they offer him.
