Wolves Sack Vítor Pereira After 10-Game Winless Start

Youth-team coaches take temporary charge pending the club’s search for a new head coach.

Overview

  • Wolves confirmed Pereira’s dismissal after taking two points from 10 league matches, leaving them eight points from safety at the foot of the table.
  • Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Fulham, which included a first-half red card for Emmanuel Agbadou, intensified supporter anger toward Pereira and owners Fosun.
  • All eight of Pereira’s assistants have departed, and under-21 coach James Collins and under-18 coach Richard Walker will lead training on an interim basis.
  • Executive chairman Jeff Shi said results fell below acceptable standards, weeks after the club handed Pereira a new three-year contract in September.
  • The slump follows a summer of key player sales and inexperienced arrivals, with Wolves posting among the fewest goals scored and the most conceded in the division.
