Certainly, Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Gary O’Neil is under immense pressure to remain in charge of the team because of a terrible beginning to the 2024/25 season campaign.
After a 4-0 trouncing at the hands of Everton at Goodison Park, concerns over O’Neil’s position are well founded. West Ham United on Monday may be the final nail in the coffin for him.
Staring at the 19th position and a staggering three points away from the bottom, Wolves are almost toast with newspaper reports from John Percy of the Telegraph suggesting an imminent sacking of the manager.
Journalist Matteo Moretto has stated that Wolves are actually keen on the prospective managerial vacancy at West Bromwich Albion with Carlos Corberan being in their sights should O’Neil exit. Graham Potter and the 41-year-old are said to be candidates of interest for the role with the club.
The question arises: Can Corberan lead Wolves to the right way?
Before the Championship match between West Brom and Sheffield United, Corberan has not said anything about the Wolves job, affirmative or negative.
This transfer news would be a major kick in the teeth for the Baggies who now find themselves down in seventh place in the Championship and managerless – their form currently as 1 win in their last 11 matches.
Corberan and the West Brom fans have obtained a special relationship since he joined the team, and this is likely to fade should he make a move to the wolves.
Similar speculation was made about the recent available manager position for the Leicester City team before the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy, more proof of the admiration he has received in the managerial field.
Former Everton manager David Moyes, who has a lot of Premier League experience could be considered another candidate. That experience of his can present a strong proposition for Wolves as they discuss their next course of action.
