Who is new Wolves boss Vitor Pereira and can he keep them in the Premier League?

A look at the new name at Wolves.

00:00Charlie, finally, Gary O'Neill has been sacked by Wolves. I mean, it's a very disappointing

00:08situation for them to be in again. We saw the same with Bruno Large a couple of seasons

00:13ago. They got Lopetegui injured to save them in the relegation scrap. At that time, it

00:18sort of seemed a bit too late in the season, but Lopetegui managed to turn things around

00:22and Wolves actually ended the season fairly well, albeit going away to the likes of Brighton

00:27and Arsenal and conceding way too many goals in those games. But then it ended poorly with

00:32Lopetegui. He ends just before Gary O'Neill comes in. O'Neill had some fantastic moments,

00:38more notably the West Brom game and that FA Cup run, which did sort of crumble. If you

00:43look at the fixtures and you look back, that Coventry game at Molineux where they thought

00:47they had the game won and they go and lose. And it would have been another trip to Wembley

00:51for Wolves, I think, if that went well. If that went the other way, then maybe things

00:56could have gone differently for Wolves. But ultimately, it's another failure, another

01:01terrible start to a Premier League season. Vito Pereira is the name to come in and hopefully

01:08turn things around. How do you see this going? Obviously, a lot of experience, 56 years of

01:12age. He's been around a number of clubs, but this is also the fourth time that Wolves have

01:17actually approached him. They approached him before Walter Zenger in 2016, then Nuno, which

01:23obviously went fantastically well. But then he was on the radar for them another few times

01:28as well. So it's an interesting appointment. Firstly, what do you make of it? What do the

01:33fans make of it? And how do you see Wolves getting on? I mean, this is just really sink

01:38or swim for them now in the top flight.

01:40It's important they need a new manager bounce immediately as the game away at Leicester

01:44City, such a huge match and the six-pointer, the Premier League relegation five-course

01:49Ipswich game was also a six-pointer. That one ended terribly, a 94th-minute winner

01:53for the Tractor Boys. Another defeat would just be absolutely crushing for Wolves and

01:57it would make the mountain to climb even bigger for the new manager. But he looks like an

02:02experienced coach, as you say, Vito Pereira. I think the only concern, though, potentially

02:06is his loyalty. This would be his fifth club in the last five seasons, which doesn't make

02:11good reading if you want someone in for the long term. But I don't think that's what Wolves

02:14are looking for at this moment. I think it's just about getting a manager who's got that

02:18experience, who can play more attractive football. Not that attractive football is necessarily

02:24an important thing. It's all about getting results. But he's got the versatility as well.

02:28He is a bit more reactive to opponents than he is focusing on his own team. He wants to

02:35maybe set up in a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3, depending on the opponents that he has got. I'm not

02:40sure if it's going to work out personally, because I think that the squad is in such

02:44disarray at the moment. But who knows? He seems to be a hard-nosed head coach. You might

02:49be able to get them back to winning ways. But that Leicester game, as I say, is so important.

02:53Trying to get some momentum over the festive period. And then who knows what can happen

02:56in the new year with some transfers in the January transfer window.
