Wolves Seek New Manager As Pereira Sacked After Winless Start

Wolves have sacked manager Vitor Pereira following a 10-match winless streak, leaving the club at the bottom of the Premier League and prompting an urgent search for his replacement. Among the leading candidates are Rob Edwards, currently managing Middlesbrough and a former Wolves player and youth coach, and Gary O'Neil, who previously managed Wolves until his dismissal last December and is currently out of work. Michael Carrick, recently sacked by Middlesbrough and with experience managing in the Championship, is also being considered along with other potential candidates. Edwards would require compensation due to his contract with Middlesbrough, while O'Neil's free agent status makes him a cost-effective option despite his controversial prior tenure. The Wolves ownership, Fosun, faces a critical decision in appointing a new manager who can address the club's precarious position and attempt to stave off likely relegation. The appointment decision is expected soon but not necessarily before the club's next match against Chelsea.
