Wolves Name Vitor Pereira as New Manager Following O'Neil Dismissal

The Portuguese coach joins the Premier League club on an 18-month deal, tasked with steering them out of the relegation zone.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have appointed Vitor Pereira as head coach after firing Gary O'Neil following a string of poor results.
The club sits second-bottom in the Premier League table with just nine points from 16 games, five points away from safety.
Pereira, 56, leaves Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab to take on the role and has signed an 18-month contract with Wolves.
He becomes the club's third Portuguese manager, following Nuno Espirito Santo and Bruno Lage, and has coached in multiple countries over the past 15 years.
Pereira's first match in charge will be against 17th-placed Leicester City this weekend, with challenging fixtures against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur later this month.
