Wolves in talks over new head coach following Gary O'Neil sacking
Wolves are in talks to make Vitor Pereira their new head coach after sacking Gary O'Neil.
The 56-year-old is currently in charge of Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab but it is understood Wolves are prepared to pay the release clause for him.
Pereira is expected to take up the role once negotiations are finalised, as Wolves push to make a swift appointment after sacking O'Neil on Sunday morning.
The Portuguese manager has taken charge of several clubs, including Porto, Olympiacos, Fenerbahce and Shanghai SIPG.
He speaks English and the club believe he has enough experience in top leagues to save Wolves from relegation this season.
Pereira was close to the Everton job in 2022 and has been with Al Shabab since February.
Wolves sit 19th in the league and are deep in a relegation battle, with Leicester next on Sunday.
