Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, commonly referred to as Wolves, have sacked head coach Vitor Pereira after failing to win any of their 10 English Premier League games this season.
A 3-0 defeat by Fulham last Saturday was Wolves’ eighth of the top-flight campaign.
They are bottom of the table, eight points off safety.
Pereira took charge in December 2024 and signed a new three-year contract in September.
But a section of supporters turned on Pereira after the 3-2 loss to Burnley last week, when he was escorted away from heated discussions with fans after full-time at Molineux.
A club statement,, external which said all eight of Pereira’s backroom staff have also left, said “results and performances this term have fallen below acceptable standards and as a result a change in leadership was deemed necessary”.
Executive chairman Jeff Shi said: “Vitor and his team worked tirelessly for Wolves and helped guide us through a challenging period last season, for which we are grateful.
“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.”James Collins and Richard Walker, head coaches of Wolves’ under-21 and under-18 teams respectively, will “take training while the club finalise the appointment of a new first-team head coach”, the statement read.
