Pereira on way to Molineux and expected to sign 18-month contract
- Published
Vitor Pereira is due to travel to Wolverhampton on Tuesday to complete a deal to become Wolves' new head coach.
The Premier League strugglers are paying around 1m euros to bring the Al-Shabab boss to the West Midlands.
Pereira, a former Porto manager, is expected to sign an 18-month deal as long as there are no late problems, but negotiations have gone smoothly and he could be confirmed at Molineux by the end of the day.
The 56-year-old's first game is set to be at Leicester City on Sunday, with Wolves second bottom of the table and five points behind the 17th-placed Foxes.
Wolves have lost 11 of their 16 games and sacked head coach Gary O'Neil on Sunday following Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by fellow strugglers Ipswich Town.
