Overview
- Wolverhampton Wanderers confirmed the appointment of César Peixoto on Monday, June 15, replacing Rob Edwards after the club’s relegation from the Premier League.
- Peixoto has signed a two-year contract that the club says is subject to work‑permit approval and marks his first managerial job outside Portugal.
- He joins from Gil Vicente, whom he guided to sixth in the Primeira Liga in 2025–26 and where he completed his longest spell as a manager.
- Peixoto has told club media he will “do everything” to return Wolves to the top flight and plans to impose an offensive, organised style built on intensity and clear team identity.
- The hire begins Wolves’ summer sporting reset and could affect recruitment and coaching structure as the club pursues instant promotion, though some fans remain uneasy about the timing and manner of Edwards’ exit.
