Vítor Pereira Takes Over as Wolves Manager in Fight Against Relegation

The Portuguese coach, with a history of success abroad, aims to rebuild confidence and steer second-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers to safety in the Premier League.

  • Vítor Pereira has been appointed as Wolverhampton Wanderers' new head coach on an 18-month deal, replacing Gary O'Neil after a poor start to the season.
  • Wolves are currently second-bottom in the Premier League, having won only two of their 16 matches and conceding a league-high 40 goals so far.
  • Pereira, who has managed 14 clubs across eight countries, brings experience from winning league titles in Portugal, Greece, and China but lacks prior Premier League experience.
  • The Wolves hierarchy was impressed by Pereira's vision and tactical approach, which emphasizes confidence-building, discipline, and a possession-based 4-3-3 system.
  • Pereira's first match in charge will be against fellow relegation contenders Leicester City, with Wolves sitting five points from safety and in urgent need of results.
