🚨 BREAKING: Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked Vítor Pereira with immediate effect!
After just 10 Premier League matches this season, in which Wolves collected only two points, the club’s board has taken decisive action and dismissed the Portuguese coach. The atmosphere at Molineux had been growing increasingly tense in recent weeks, with fan frustration clearly visible, performances declining, and the team sitting firmly in the relegation zone. The board reportedly felt there was no sign of tactical progress, dressing room belief, or a clear identity on the pitch.
Pereira’s short spell at Wolves will likely be remembered for cautious football, inconsistent team selections, and an inability to turn promising moments into actual results. Although the squad is not considered one of the worst in the league, the lack of structure and confidence under his leadership made it difficult for the side to remain competitive, especially against stronger and more organised Premier League teams.
The big question now is: Who should replace him?
There are a few possible directions Wolves could take:
✅ 1. A Premier League-Proven Manager
Someone like Graham Potter or Julen Lopetegui (if willing to return) would instantly stabilise the club. Both are tactically intelligent coaches who favour strong structure, pressing, and possession football – something the current squad could benefit from.
✅ 2. A Young, Modern Coach
Names like Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town) or Will Still (formerly Reims) could represent a bold, long-term project. Wolves have previously shown interest in progressive, forward-thinking managers, and this would fit their strategy of developing young talent.
✅ 3. A Motivational “Firefighter”
If the board only wants survival this season, they could turn to a proven relegation specialist – someone like Sam Allardyce, Roy Hodgson, or even Nuno Espírito Santo for a nostalgic comeback. Not glamorous, but effective.
The ideal candidate depends on Wolves’ long-term vision:
🔸 Do they want identity and progression?
🔸 Or survival first, style later?
What’s certain is that the next appointment is critical. Wolves cannot afford another failed experiment. A squad with players like Pedro Neto, Matheus Cunha, João Gomes, and Rayan Aït-Nouri deserves a manager who can maximise their potential.
