English Premier League side Wolves have sacked manager Vitor Pereira following their winless start to the 2025-26 English Premier League season.
The 57-year-old moved to the Molineux last December, succeeding Gary O’Neil and helped steer the team from relegation with a 16th-placed finish.
The club suffered a 3-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday, leading to chants of ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’ by their supporters.
The Portuguese had only signed a new three-year contract at the club 45 days ago, but has now been dismissed following a dismal start that has left them bottom of the standings after 10 matches.
“Vitor and his team worked tirelessly for Wolves and helped guide us through a challenging period last season, for which we are grateful”, the club said in a statement released.
“Unfortunately, the start to this season has been a disappointment and, despite our strong desire to give the head coach time and matches to find an improvement, we have reached a point where we must make a change.
“We thank Vitor and his staff for their efforts and wish them the very best for the future.”
Wolves gathered only two points from their first 10 league matches, losing eight and are the only team in the league without a win.
They ended a run of five league defeats with two successive draws against Tottenham and Brighton, but have now lost their last four in all competitions.
Wolves U-21 head coach James Collins, as well as U18 head coach Richard Walker will be in charge of the team’s matches until the appointment of a new permanent manager.
They travel to the Stamford Bridge next weekend to face Chelsea, a side that defeated them 4-3 in the Carabao Cup fourth round last week.
