The2019–20 season was the 142nd in the history ofWolverhampton Wanderers and the 3rd under then-head coachNuno Espírito Santo. In that season, they competed inthe Premier League for the 2nd consecutive time,the EFL Cup,the FA Cup and ina UEFA/continental competition for the first time since 1980–81 through/via theUEFA Europa League.
As a result of the suspension of competitive football in March 2020 due to theCOVID-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 ofArsenal 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 atChelsea.[5] Their continental campaign concluded at the quarter-final stage of a modified single-leg final tournament in Germany with defeat to the eventual winnersSevilla, lasting 383 days in total[6] and signified their best performance in a UEFA competition since reaching theinaugural UEFA Cup Final in 1972.
Wolves were one of four teams invited to take part in the biennialPremier 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.
