Wolves manager Vitor Pereira sacked following humiliating 3-0 defeat to Fulham
Wolves manager Vitor Pereira sacked after a nightmare Premier League start that’s left the club bottom and fans demanding answers. The decision came just 45 days after Pereira signed a fresh three-year deal, a move that now looks like a major misstep from the Wolves board. For supporters analyzing form and odds, our in-depth Stats English Premier League page offers deeper context behind every matchday twist.
- Wolves part ways with Vitor Pereira after 10 winless Premier League games.
- The Portuguese coach was dismissed just 45 days after signing a new contract.
- Under-21 boss James Collins to take interim charge while a new manager is sought.
- Fans frustrated as Wolves sit bottom of the table with only two points.
Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Fulham was the breaking point. Wolves were reduced to ten men after Emmanuel Agbadou’s red card, and the performance at Craven Cottage was described by Pereira himself as “the worst since I took over.” The defeat left the team with just two points from ten matches, a shocking return for a side that fought bravely to avoid relegation only months ago. Can Wolves really bounce back from this mess?
It’s a brutal turn of events for Pereira, who was hailed as a savior last December when he guided the team from 19th to safety. He’d even shared beers with fans in a local pub after securing their Premier League survival. But that goodwill faded fast after the poor start this season, culminating in a public argument with supporters following the Burnley defeat. The atmosphere around Molineux had grown tense, maybe even toxic.
Club chairman Jeff Shi released a statement thanking Pereira for his efforts but admitted “results and performances have fallen below acceptable standards.” For now, the Under-21 coach James Collins and U18 boss Richard Walker will oversee training. Behind the scenes, Wolves are already drawing up a shortlist for the next head coach, though finding someone willing to take on this challenge won’t be easy.
Still, there’s a flicker of hope. The squad isn’t short on talent, and several senior players have vowed to rally behind whoever steps in next. Whether that’s enough to steer Wolves clear of danger, we’ll soon find out.

Fulham’s 3-0 win over Wolves at Craven Cottage piled even more pressure on under-fire coach Vitor Pereira, whose side remain winless at the foot of the Premier League table. Emmanuel Agbadou’s early red card left Wolves with little chance, while goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Harry Wilson, and a late Mosquera own goal sealed Fulham’s first league victory in over a month.
