- Published
Wolves have confirmed the appointment of Vitor Pereira as the club's new head coach on an 18-month deal.
The 56-year-old, who was managing Al Shabab in the Saudi Pro League, replaces Gary O'Neil after he was sacked following the side's 2-1 defeat by Ipswich on Saturday.
Pereira arrives at Wolves with the side languishing 19th in the Premier League, five points off safety.
The former Porto boss has never previously managed in English football but has won four league titles in three countries.
"We are delighted to welcome Vitor Pereira to Wolves," said chairman Jeff Shi. "Vitor is a highly respected and experienced coach who has achieved success across different leagues and will bring a new approach for the test ahead.
"This is a challenging moment for the club, and we want to thank Vitor for taking on this responsibility. We have full confidence in his ability to guide us back on track, alongside the players and staff, and the entire club will be united in supporting him to achieve success."
