Wolves manager Vitor Pereira has been sacked after just over eight months in charge. The Portuguese coach had signed a new three-year contract with the club in August, but his departure is a significant blow to Wolves' chances of staying up in the Premier League.
Pereira's sacking comes after a dismal start to the season, with Wolves losing all 10 of their opening league games and scoring only seven goals while conceding 22. The team has struggled to find form and has been plagued by injuries, which have further weakened their chances of survival.
The club's chairman, Jeff Shi, said that Pereira had been given "one last chance" to turn the team around, but ultimately decided that it was time for a change. Shi also acknowledged that the sacking was not taken lightly and that the club would do everything in its power to find a new manager who could help them stay up.
Pereira's departure is the fourth time Wolves have changed manager this season, with the previous changes coming in April and July. The team has struggled to find consistency under different managers, but Shi remains optimistic about the club's chances of staying up.
The club's next six fixtures are as follows:
* November 8: Chelsea (a) - Premier League
* November 22: Crystal Palace (h) - Premier League
* November 30: Aston Villa (a) - Premier League
* December 3: Nottingham Forest (h) - Premier League
* December 8: Manchester United (h) - Premier League
* December 13: Arsenal (a) - Premier League
Wolves are currently eight points from safety and face a daunting task to stay up. The club's fans will be hoping that the new manager can turn their luck around and help them secure a spot in the top division.
