It has emerged that Wolverhampton Wanderers have fired its manager Gary O’Neil barely a year and half since he joined the Molineux club. The decision has come after a tbsp season performance on their home ground, they were humbled by Ipswich Town 2-1, the present ranking of the wolves is at the nineteenth position in the premier league.
This coming after he had an excellent first season at the helm of affairs in the club, this is a dramatic development. Appointed on July 16, 2023 as the substantive manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers only three days to the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign, O’Neil was able to take Wolverhampton Wanderers to the position 14 and registered stunning wins over Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
But the current one has not been this kind of season at all – in fact, it has been a different ball game altogether. Wolves have claimed only two league victories in 16 fixtures while shipping as many as 40 goals in the process. And this came after a series of poor displays including a 4-2 loss to O’Neil’s boyhood club Bournemouth and a lopsided 4-0 loss to Everton.
The last blow was produced on Saturday when wolves lost 2-1 to awful Ipswich Town. Goa, however, came back through Matheus Cunha scoring an equaliser in the 72nd minute but the disastrous 94th minute goal by Wolves’ Jack Taylor confirmed O’Neil has to leave.
As quoted in the official release made by the club the following message can be found; ‘Copper Bullets have decided to leave head coach Gary O’Neil as well as the rest of his coaching staff behind. ‘All of us at the club would like to thank Gary for everything he has done for the team and congratulate him and his team on their future endeavours.’
The Wolverhampton fans will need to hope for a new manger after O’Neil took his in last night and will want to take the team out of the LBA league. The next match takes the team to Leicester City and then Manchester United on the next day that is Boxing Day.
