"Wolves have sacked Vitor Pereira in the wake of their 3-0 defeat by Fulham, which left them bottom with two points from 10 games and eight points adrift of the last safe spot. The move comes despite his signing a three-year contract in September. The Portuguese was appointed last December in succession to Gary O'Neil, with Wolves 19th, with nine points from 16 matches. He quickly reinvigorated the team and they were safe by late April, before finishing 16th."
"His approach brought widespread praise, with regular appearances in local pubs to celebrate victories with supporters. However, in the summer Matheus Cunha was sold to Manchester United for 62.5m and Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City for 31m, among others, and the players brought in have struggled to make an impact. The forward Jrgen Strand Larsen, bought for 23m from Celta Vigo, scored his first goal from the penalty spot in the defeat by Burnley,"
Wolves sacked Vitor Pereira after a 3-0 defeat by Fulham that left the club bottom with two points from 10 matches and eight points adrift of safety. Pereira had signed a three-year contract in September after being appointed in December with Wolves 19th on nine points from 16 games. He reinvigorated the squad, secured safety by late April and finished 16th. Significant summer departures and incoming players failed to make an impact, with costly signings underperforming. Recent matches featured a red card for Emmanuel Agbadou, goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Harry Wilson, and fan unrest culminating in Pereira confronting supporters.
