Wolves Seek New Manager Amid Premier League Struggles

Wolverhampton Wanderers are urgently seeking a new head coach after sacking Vitor Pereira due to a poor start to the Premier League season, with the team currently bottom of the table. Robbie Keane, former Tottenham and Ireland striker and current manager of Ferencvaros, has expressed interest and formally applied for the role, bringing experience from his managerial stints including Maccabi Tel Aviv. Gary O'Neil, previously sacked by Wolves, was in advanced talks but withdrew, and other candidates such as Middlesbrough's Rob Edwards and Michael Carrick are also being considered, though concerns exist about the club's attractiveness to top managers given its current struggles and ownership's lack of ambition. Wolves face a monumental challenge to avoid relegation, with critics highlighting poor club management and a lack of a clear, sustainable plan compared to other successful Premier League clubs. The club's shortlist also includes Brendan Rodgers, who would be open to the position, and there is hope they will find someone who can inspire the team beyond just managing. The decision on the next manager is critical as Wolves attempt to reverse their fortunes before the January transfer window.
