Wolves sack Vitor Pereira after winless start to season

Wolves have sacked Vítor Pereira weeks after he signed a new long-term contract.

Pereira took over from Gary O'Neil last December and guided the Molineux club away from the relegation zone before he secured a 16th-placed finish after a notable double over Manchester United.

Matheus Cunha joined United in the summer and, despite a poor start to the new campaign, Pereira put pen to paper on a new deal on Sept. 16.

However, results failed to improve and 57-year-old Pereira has been dismissed following Saturday's 3-0 loss at Fulham.
