Gary O’Neil in talks over Wolves return after Vitor Pereira sacking

By Total Football News

Edwards’ appointment, given his current employment, would provide many obstacles to overcome, with Middlesbrough believed to be entitled to a significant compensation fee should their manager leave.

That leaves O’Neil well placed to return, but sources have indicated that while he is a strong candidate he is not the only contender.

Wolves have a history of appointing managers with close links to high-profile agent Jorge Mendes, in Nuno Espirito Santo,

‘Part of the family’ – Wolves’ remarkable turnaround under Vitor Pereira

By Total Football News

Sunday’s win was the first time since March 2022 that Wolves have scored four or more goals in a league game at Molineux, so it was fitting that Matheus Cunha scored the final goal on his return to the side.

The Brazil striker came off the bench to make his return from a four-game suspension, and in the 86th minute dispossessed Lucas Bergvall before slotting past Guglielmo Vicario to wrap

Wolves 2-0 Man Utd: Vitor Pereira outshines Ruben Amorim

By Total Football News

Amorim dismissed Wolves’ second goal, in the ninth minute of stoppage time, because it came at a point when United were chasing the game.

That task was not made any easier by the dismissal of skipper Bruno Fernandes for the third time this season when, having already been booked in the first-half, clipped Wolves captain Nelson Semedo at the start of the second to trigger a second yellow, a red,

Leicester 0-3 Wolves: Vitor Pereira predicts Wolves’ survival after dream start

By Total Football News

Pereira’s first game as a Premier League manager has been a long time coming.

The 56-year-old thought he was going to be given the Everton job in 2013, and says he “did many job interviews with English clubs”.

A two-time title winner with Porto, he has finally been given an opportunity in England, but surely did not imagine making such a comfortable start.

Wolves were 3-0 up by half-time, but
