In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers have terminated head coach Vitor Pereira's contract after just 17 days at the helm.
The club released a brutally brief 188-word statement confirming the Portuguese manager's immediate departure, marking one of the shortest managerial tenures in top-flight football history.
Sudden Exit Rocks Molineux
The announcement comes as a complete surprise to football fans and pundits alike, given Pereira's recent appointment was meant to stabilise the Midlands club after a turbulent period. Instead, Wolves find themselves back at square one in their search for leadership.
While the official statement provided minimal details about the reasons behind the sudden split, sources close to the club suggest fundamental differences in vision emerged almost immediately after Pereira's arrival.
What Comes Next for Wolves?
With the new Premier League season rapidly approaching, Wolves now face a race against time to appoint a new manager. Gary O'Neil, who recently left Bournemouth, has emerged as an early frontrunner to take over the reins at Molineux.
The timing couldn't be worse for the club, with crucial pre-season preparations now disrupted and transfer plans potentially thrown into chaos. Supporters will be left wondering how the club's hierarchy managed to get this appointment so dramatically wrong.
This abrupt departure raises serious questions about Wolves' recruitment process and long-term strategy, leaving many to ponder what exactly went wrong behind the scenes during those fateful 17 days.
