Reports Today suggest that Former Southampton Assistant Manager, Stuart Gray, will be shortly named as Assistant to Dave Jones.

Dave Jones sacked John Ward as Assistant Manager shortly after the Play-Off Final in May but is yet to replace him.

 It was made clear that Jones wanted to replace Ward with Ex-Manchester United coach Brian Kidd, but the deal involving Kidd failed to materialize. 

 Instead, it is now believed Dave Jones is set to appoint former Southampton Assistant Stuart Gray.

 Gray was briefly appointed Manager of Southampton after the departure of Glenn Hoddle but then left as Gordan Strachan took over the main seat at Southampton.

Gray worked his way through the "Coaching ladder" on the South Coast, Starting off at the depths of Schoolboy coach, to trainee coach and was then promoted to Assistant Manager by Dave Jones, Southampton`s Manager at the time.

In November of 2001, Aston Villa Manager John Gregory appointed Gray as first team coach, describing Gray as "a very good coach".

 Gray is now poised to renew his friendship with Wolves Manager Dave Jones as assistant manager at Molineux.
