It has not taken Wolverhampton Wanderers long to look for a replacement for Gary O’Neil, who was dismissed on Sunday. While Wolves are reportedly set to bring in another manager who has connections to several internationally renowned stars, they have offered the management position to several big names in the past, such as West Ham and Queens Park Rangers.
Going by the information in intelligence, the club is eager to sign the Portuguese Vitor Pereira as their next head coach. He is at present the head coach for Al-Shabab in Saudi Pro League but Wolfs are planning to include his buyout clause to sign him.
In the Greek league, the Chinese and the Portuguese leagues, Pereira has gained his domestic title success. His appointment would be a huge signing for Wolves who are at the bottom 4 of the Premier league this season.
China’s Wolves soccer club’s chairman Jeff Shi also took to the media on Sunday to convey his appreciation for O’Neil contributions to the team and wished him well in his future endeavors. Still, the festive season fixtures list seems to arrive incredibly soon that is why Wolves must be more active in selecting the new manager.
David Moyes the ex-manager at West Ham and John Eustace the Blackburn Rover’s head coach were some of the first names that were expected to be in the process. However, it seems that Wolves have their eyes elsewhere for O’Neil’s replacement, and that man is Pereira.
A decision is also expected pretty soon with Wolves keen to have a new manager on board as soon as possible. Even when things were difficult for Davor Šuker and his teammates at the World Cup 1998 in France, Pereira proved his worth as a manager of successful teams in the Premier League.
