Wolves Sack Vítor Pereira After Winless Start as Academy Coaches Take Interim Charge

After a 3-0 loss at Fulham capped a winless 10-game start, Wolves installed academy coaches on an interim basis.

Overview

  • Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League with two points from 10 matches, eight adrift of safety after eight defeats.
  • All eight of Pereira’s backroom staff have also departed, with Under-21 coach James Collins and Under-18 coach Richard Walker leading training.
  • Executive chairman Jeff Shi thanked Pereira but said the results left the club with no choice but to make a change.
  • Pereira had signed a three-year contract in September, with multiple reports saying a clause means he will not receive the full payout.
  • An urgent search for a successor is under way, with media linking Brendan Rodgers and former boss Gary O’Neil among early candidates.
