"There is calm beneath the chaos of results at Wolves, despite the worst start to a league season in their history. Four straight defeats to open the campaign had raised the anxiety levels, supporters fearing the worst after recent battles against the drop. A fifth, Saturday's 3-1 loss to Leeds, only exacerbated those concerns after Wolves lost an early lead to concede three times in 14 first-half minutes."
"Wolves handed Gary O'Neil a new four-year deal on the eve of last season, only to sack him four months into the campaign, so while the contract does not necessarily protect Pereira from the same fate there is no desire for history to repeat itself. The arrival of Domineco Teti as director of professional football in June after the departure of sporting director Matt Hobbs strengthened Pereira's position, the pair having worked together at Saudi side Al Shabab."
Wolves have endured the worst start to a league season in their history, losing five straight matches and remaining bottom, pointless and winless. Saturday's 3-1 loss to Leeds saw Wolves lose an early lead and concede three goals in 14 first-half minutes. Only two clubs have survived the Premier League after losing their first five games, increasing relegation concern. The club completed new deals for manager Vitor Pereira and striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, signaling a methodical approach. Pereira signed a three-year contract after summer talks. His varied career included a three-year spell at Shanghai SIPG. The June hiring of Domineco Teti as director of professional football strengthened Pereira's position.
