Wolves appoint Pereira as manager after sacking O’Neil

Wolverhampton Wanderers have named Vitor Pereira as head coach on an 18-month deal, the Premier League club said on Thursday, hoping the Portuguese can guide them out of the relegation zone.

The 56-year-old replaces Gary O’Neil, who was sacked on Sunday after a four-game losing run in the league left them second-bottom of the table with nine points from 16 matches following Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by promoted Ipswich Town.

Pereira, who is the Midlands club’s third Portuguese manager after Nuno Espirito Santo and Bruno Lage, takes over a team who are five points adrift of the safety zone.
