Wolves Sack Vitor Pereira After 10-Game Winless Run, Consider Multiple Successors

Wolves have sacked manager Vitor Pereira after a poor start to the 2025 Premier League season, during which they failed to win any of their first 10 games and found themselves bottom of the table. Despite Pereira signing a new three-year contract in September 2025 and previously saving the club from relegation, results deteriorated significantly this season, leading to his dismissal alongside his entire backroom staff. The club is considering several candidates for the managerial vacancy, with Brendan Rodgers emerging as the clear favorite due to his extensive Premier League experience, including spells at Liverpool and Leicester City. Another surprising possibility is the reappointment of former Wolves manager Gary O'Neil, who is still held in high regard by the club's ownership despite being sacked less than a year ago. Other names linked to the role include former players and managers from Europe, but the priority remains stabilizing the club as it faces a daunting challenge to avoid relegation. Interim training responsibilities have been handed to the under-21 and under-18 coaches as Wolves seek to finalize their next permanent head coach.
