Wolves close in on Vítor Pereira after sacking Gary O’Neil as head coach

O’Neil goes with club second bottom in table
Al-Shabab manager Pereira understood to be keen

Wolves are optimistic about appointing the Portuguese coach Vítor Pereira as their next head coach after Gary O’Neil became the third Premier League manager to be sacked this season. Pereira, in charge of Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League, has won domestic titles in Greece, Portugal and China.

Wolves are hopeful of making a swift appointment after deciding to dismiss O’Neil hours after Saturday’s stoppage-time home defeat against Ipswich. The 56-year-old Pereira is understood to be keen on the switch, with Wolves expected to trigger his release clause.
