Vitor Pereira, the coach of Wolves, agrees to a fresh three-year deal despite an initial setback in the team's start.
Wolves, the Wolverhampton Wanderers football club, have found themselves in an unfamiliar position this season, having lost their first four games. The club will be hoping to turn things around when they host Leeds United on Saturday in a crucial early-season match.
The turn of events at Molineux Stadium began in December 2021, when Vitor Pereira replaced Gary O'Neil as manager. Pereira's tenure started on December 22, and he immediately called for unity among fans and players.
Pereira's impact was evident last season, as he led Wolves to a highly competitive record and six consecutive Premier League wins. His win rate as Wolves head coach in the Premier League is 38%, equal to Nuno Espirito Santo's and only bettered by Julen Lopetegui (39%).
Despite the current struggles, Pereira's impressive performance last season earned him a nomination for the Manager of the Season award. Under his guidance, Wolves avoided relegation by 17 points and took 33 points from 22 games, finishing the season with a total of 46 points and placing them 12th in the league.
One of Pereira's most memorable feats was a six-match winning run in March and April of last season. This impressive streak showcased his ability to motivate and guide the team to success.
Chairman Jeff Shi has praised Pereira's impact at Wolves, citing clarity, energy, and a team spirit as key factors in his success. Shi has also expressed the need for stability and time for Pereira to work with the squad and build chemistry.
The upcoming match against Leeds United presents a significant opportunity for Pereira to secure his first win of the season and halt Wolves' losing streak. A loss to Leeds could make Wolves the sixth club to start a Premier League season with five straight defeats.
As Wolves and their fans look towards the future, they can take solace in the fact that Pereira has already demonstrated his ability to lead the team to success. With time and continued support, there is hope that Wolves can turn their fortunes around and climb the Premier League table.
