European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 17th (Korea time) 'Vitor Pereira was appointed as Wolverhampton's new coach as expected. We are checking the papers,' it reported.
Wolverhampton announced the replacement of manager Gary O'Neill on the 15th. The club said 'We would like to thank O'Neill greatly for all his efforts and dedication during his time at the club. I wish O'Neill and his coaching staff all the best for the future.
O'Neill has already been the most likely candidate for replacement in the English Premier League (EPL) for a few weeks. Since the opening, he has been winless in 10 games, and his performance immediately fell to the relegation zone. Until recently, it remained in 19th place without rebounding. Round 16 against Ipswich Town was the decisive shot. Wolverhampton collapsed with a 1-2 defeat to Ipswich. After the game, ace Matheus Cunha proved the team's atmosphere was a mess, hitting the opposing team's security guard, and in the end, O'Neill had to leave the team.

Pereira began her leadership career back in 2002. He spent his career in Portugal, especially leading Porto from 2011 to 2013, winning his second consecutive league title. However, since Porto, his coaching career has rarely been steady. He went through Al Ahli, Olympiacos, Fenerbahce and Shanghai Sanggang, and also coached Kim Min-jae during his second appointment to Fenerbahce in 2021. However, Kim Min-jae surprised fans with a tactic of putting him alone in the last room at the time.
Pereira had been coaching al-Shabab this season, apparently accepting Wolverhampton's offer. If he leaves Al-Shabab and takes the helm of Wolverhampton, he will be stepping on the England stage for the first time in his managerial career.
If Pereira comes, Hwang Hee-chan's position can also change. Hwang Hee-chan, who was O'Neill's persona last season, has been pushed out of his main position since his slump at the beginning of this season and has been on the bench for a long time. Masugaru has not even recorded an attack point yet. Attention is also expected to be drawn to which player Pereira will be the main player.
