Andy Keogh backs Kenny Jackett in Wolves task

The 27-year-old former Wolves striker is a big admirer of the man who was today unveiled at Compton as Molineux's first head coach.

He is tasked of shaping a revival from League One football following successive relegations.

It's an appointment that has not been met with universal approval from Wolves fans but Keogh, signed by Jackett at Millwall in January 2012, thinks the Molineux hierarchy have chosen wisely.

The Dubliner said: "It's a good appointment – I would say he is just what Wolves need right now. They have got the right manager to sort out everything and get the club going forward again.

"He's very good – very thorough, a good man-manager, a good tactician not only in his coaching but in the way he prepares for games.

"He is disciplined but also understanding of others' point of view and takes all things into consideration.

"Kenny is a good man – he's definitely been good for my career but I think he will be good for Wolves.

"His style of football is to adapt to whatever he wants and feels is right. But most of all he wants to win.

"He doesn't care which way he needs to play to do that. Does anyone care really?

"I think you could be playing rubbish but if you're winning every week the fans won't be complaining."

Jackett rescued Keogh from a trail of loans as his career at Wolves petered out.

The Republic of Ireland international was phased out by manager Mick McCarthy as Cardiff, Bristol City and Leeds hired him before Jackett signed him for £500,000.

But he added his name to a list of old boys who have returned to Molineux in the last 18 months to hurt their old club – Keogh scored a 79th-minute winner for Millwall in November.

And he watched with amazement as the club plunged into League One.

He said: "Things were obviously not done in the right way, at times, and I think it all stems back to the sacking of Mick McCarthy.

"This would never have happened if they hadn't done that."
