Super Eagles former midfielder enforcer Seyi Olofinjana is set to quit his role at his former club, Wolverhampton Wanderers in England for a new role as a Sporting Director in Switzerland.

According to reports, 40-year-old Olofinjana who is a loan manager at Wolves will be taking up the new role at Zurich-based side Grasshoppers, historically considered the most successful side in Swiss football history.
