Wolves Sack Manager Gary O'Neil After Defeat

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked head coach Gary O'Neil following a 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town, leaving the club in 19th place and four points adrift of safety in the Premier League. O'Neil, who had only recently signed a four-year contract after a promising first season, faced mounting pressure after the loss marked the team's 11th defeat in 16 league matches, with a staggering 40 goals conceded this season. The defeat was further marred by post-match chaos, including a confrontation involving players and staff, leading to the suspension of defender Rayan Ait-Nouri. O'Neil's dismissal makes him the third Premier League manager to lose his job this season. The club's struggles reflect a significant decline from their previous competitive form, raising questions about management decisions and player performance. Wolves will next face Leicester City as they seek to improve their dire situation.
