After the team failed to win any of their opening 10 Premier League matches, the management Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, 2 November, 2025 parted ways head coach, Vitor Pereira.
The club announced the sacking of Perera through a statement posted on its website on Sunday, 2 November, 2025 after the senior team lost eight matches and drew two in their first 10 league games.
According to the club, results and performances this term “have fallen below acceptable standards,” leaving the club bottom of the table and eight points adrift of safety.
“Upon his arrival at Molineux last December, Pereira and his coaches made an immediate impact, guiding the team to a successful second half of the Premier League campaign.
“However, results and performances this term have fallen below acceptable standards, and as a result, a change in leadership was deemed necessary,” the Wolverhampton city-based football club said, just as ut also added that Pereira leaves alongside all eight members of his backroom staff.
The club confirmed “Under-21 head coach James Collins and Under-18 boss Richard Walker” will lead first-team training while a permanent replacement is sought.
Executive chairman Jeff Shi paid tribute to Pereira and his team, saying, “Vitor and his team worked tirelessly for Wolves and helped guide us through a challenging period last season, for which we are grateful.
“Unfortunately, the start to this season has been a disappointment and, despite our strong desire to give the head coach time and matches to find an improvement, we have reached a point where we must make a change.
“We thank Vitor and his staff for their efforts and wish them the very best for the future.”
Wolves did not give a timescale for appointing a new first-team head coach.
