Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly in advanced negotiations with Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira to become their new manager following the departure of Gary O'Neil.
The Midlands club have moved swiftly to identify their top target after making the decision to part ways with O'Neil, and Pereira has emerged as the frontrunner for the Molineux hotseat.
Portuguese Manager Set for Premier League Return
Vitor Pereira, who has previously been linked with Everton and Chelsea, boasts an impressive CV that includes title-winning stints in Portugal, Greece, and China. The 56-year-old is said to be keen on a return to European football after his most recent role in Saudi Arabia.
Sources close to the negotiations indicate that Pereira has already held positive discussions with Wolves hierarchy about his vision for the club and plans for the upcoming Premier League season.
Key Players Back the Appointment
In a significant development, several key Wolves players have reportedly expressed support for Pereira's potential appointment. The Portuguese connection at Molineux, including established stars and recent signings, is understood to be particularly enthusiastic about working with their compatriot.
This internal backing could prove crucial as Wolves look to build momentum ahead of the new campaign and avoid the relegation battles that have characterised recent seasons.
What Pereira Would Bring to Molineux
Known for his tactical discipline and emphasis on structured attacking play, Pereira's philosophy aligns with Wolves' traditional approach under previous managers. His experience in multiple leagues and track record of developing young talent makes him an attractive proposition for the club's long-term vision.
The potential appointment signals Wolves' ambition to re-establish themselves as a stable Premier League side while playing an attractive brand of football that will please the Molineux faithful.
With pre-season preparations looming, Wolves fans will be hoping for a swift resolution to the managerial situation as the club prepares for another challenging Premier League campaign.
