Wolves hire Vitor Pereira: rescue mission in the Premier League!

The Wolverhampton Wanderers dared to take a brave step and committed the experienced trainer Vitor Pereira! The 56-year-old changes from Al Shabab in the Saudi Pro League and takes over a team that is on the abyss in the Premier League. With just two wins from 16 games, the Wolves occupy the penultimate place and are five points away from the saving zone. A dramatic change that could decisively influence the future of the association!

The decision was made after the dismissal of Gary O’Neil, who had to take his hat off after a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Ipswich Town on Sunday. O’Neil had the helm for 16 months, but the results spoke a clear language. The fans are excited to see whether Pereira, who was already working as a coach in many countries, can tear the rudder around!

Pereira immediately takes over

already on Thursday Pereira managed the training in the Compton Park and will make his debut on the sidelines at the upcoming away encounter against Leicester City. The Wolves paid the exit clause in his contract with Al Shabab, and the Portuguese signed an 18-month contract in Molineux. A clear act of confession to the turn in the club!

"This is a challenging moment for the club, and we would like to thank Vitor that he has taken on this responsibility," said Wolves chairman Jeff Shi. "We have full confidence in his ability to get back on the right track." The entire community is behind him - a strong signal for the players and the fans!

a trainer with experience

Pereira is no stranger to the football business. He made a name for himself as an assistant to Andre Villas-Boas near Porto, where he took over the scepter after the departure of his mentor in 2011. Under his lead, Porto won the Primeira League twice. This was followed by an international career with stations at Olympiacos, Fenerbahce, Shanghai Port and Flamengo. A true football world traveler!

In the meantime, Al Shabab fights for the top positions in the Saudi Pro League and has seven wins and four defeats after 13 games. The association is currently in a training camp in Qatar before continuing against Al Ahli on January 10th, another former employer of Pereira. The tension increases!

The upcoming games for the Wolves are crucial: after Leicester Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are on the program. Will Pereira create the turn and lead the hikers out of the crisis? The fans hold their breath!
