Former West Ham boss Alan Curbishley has declared his interest in the vacant manager's job at Wolves.
Mick McCarthy was sacked on Monday morning after five-and-a-half years with the Premier League club, following Sunday's 5-1 defeat to rivals West Brom at Molineux.
The former Charlton Athletic manager has been relishing the opportunity to return to the Premier League, having been out of the game since September 2008, and would be keen to hold talks with Wolves owner Steve Morgan.
He told Sky Sports: "If I get a phone call, then I'll speak to him. I have always said that I wanted to go back into the Premier League.
"I have had opportunities to go back since I have been out of the game. The Premier League is for me, I think my record stands up. It's just that I have been out of the game for some time now."
Wolves are currently sitting in the relegation zone and Curbishley is aware of the challenge he would be faced with to keep the struggling side in the Premier League.
Curbishley said: "You need to put together two or three wins to jump out of it. Those wins might come in the last couple of games, so when that trapdoor closes you're out. That's what happened to Wolves last year, to survive on the last day, so it's not over.
"But it's going to be tough because once you're down there, the players aren't playing with the confidence you would like them to have and the supporters haven't got the confidence. That's got to change."
