Wolves part company with Vitor Pereira

Wolves have parted company with head coach Vitor Pereira, after a winless start to the 2025/26 season.

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.

All eight of Pereira’s backroom staff have also left the club.

Under-21 head coach James Collins and under-18 head coach Richard Walker will take training while the club finalise the appointment of a new first-team head coach.

Executive chairman Jeff Shi said: “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.”
