Wolves appoint two new first team coaches
Wolves have thrown more backing behind head coach Vitor Pereira by appointing two new first team coaches to his backroom team.
The club have bolstered Pereira's staff by bringing in Bruno Moura and Filipe Almeida and the pair have already began working with the team since players began returning for pre-season testing on Monday.
The pair are both from Portugal and have worked with Pereira at previous clubs.
Moura, aged 47, worked briefly with Pereira at Portuguese side Santa Clara in 2010 and then spent more time on his coaching staff at Shanghai SIPG, Fenerbahce and Corinthians bertween 2017 and 2022.
In 2024, Moura most recently worked for Latvian side Auda and he has now been reunited with Pereira at Wolves.
Almeida, aged 44, initially worked with Pereira at Porto from 2011 to 2013 and then followed him to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli.
He was part of Pereira's team for both spells at Fenerbahce, as well as Shanghai SIPG and Corinthians, but also during Pereira's brief time at 1860 Munich.
Almeida was also working alongside Moura at Auda before coming to Wolves.
The pair join a strong coaching team made up of Luis Miguel, Andre Monteiro, Antonio Ascensao, Adriano Teixeira and Ricardo Silva.
The appointment of Moura and Almeida is the latest example of Wolves backing their head coach, who they hope will continue his impressive work with the first team since his appointment in December.
Following sporting director Matt Hobbs' departure and Wolves' restructure, Domenico Teti was appointed as Wolves' new director of professional football.
The Italian, who worked with Pereira at Saudi side Al Shabab before Pereira made the switch to Molineux, was brought in to aid the connection and communication between the head coach and the club's hierarchy.
It is understood Pereira has a strong relationship with Wolves bosses and the club are keen to back their man, who helped get the team out of relegation trouble last season.
So far they have signed Fer Lopez, while Tommy Doyle and Nasser Djiga have left on loan deals to Birmingham and Rangers respectively, but the club are actively looking for first team additions.
