Wolves SACK Vitor Pereira: The Aftermath of a Major Managerial Change

Premier League strugglers Wolves have made a seismic decision by sacking manager Vitor Pereira following a dismal start to the season. The club finds itself at rock-bottom, with fans and pundits alike questioning the team's direction. What led to this sudden move, and what lies ahead for the Molineux club?

Wolves SACK Vitor Pereira: The Aftermath of a Major Managerial Change

Premier League strugglers Wolves have sacked manager Vitor Pereira following the club’s poor start to the season, according to reporter John Percy. The Molineux club are the only team in England’s top four divisions yet to win a league game in 2025-26, having lost eight of their 10 games under the Portuguese, who was only handed a new contract in September.The news broke on Sunday morning that Pereira had been relieved of his duties after 11 months at the helm. Following a winless start to the league season which has seen Wolves earn just two points from 10 games, earning draws against Tottenham and Brighton, the club are currently bottom of the table and eight points from safety. The Midlanders did secure victories over West Ham and Everton in the Carabao Cup, but they were unable to replicate that form in the league.In what has turned out to be Pereira’s final game in charge, Wolves suffered a 3-0 defeat against Fulham on Saturday. Strikes from Ryan Sessegnon and Harry Wilson, as well as an own goal from defender Yerson Mosquera, consigned Pereira’s men to another defeat.Following the game, Pereira said he was “trying everything” to arrest Wolves’ slide, telling the club’s official website: “I’m trying everything to mentally keep the team in conditions to compete. I had very good feelings from the last game, especially the second half, but I don’t think two days was enough to recover for this game. But it’s my responsibility.“I’m not a manager to put the responsibilities on the players, but together, we need to have a talk, and to assume the responsibilities together as a group because we cannot accept this level that we played today.“I understand [fans’ frustration] because if I’m not proud with what we did today, they – for sure – will not be. I must accept it because they are frustrated and I’m frustrated too.“I’m suffering because it’s my work and I do my best every time, as I did last season, but today, technically, physically and practically, we didn’t play in our level. It means that they come here to support us and thanks for them, but in the end, I understand their frustration.“I’m a fighter. I never give up. I’m not this kind of person. I will try my best in the next training to mentally recover the team, to tactically recover the organisation that we need for the next game.”More to follow...
