The Digest:

Wolverhampton Wanderers have severed ties with manager Vítor Pereira following a historically poor start to the Premier League season, culminating in a decisive 3-0 defeat to Fulham that left the club bottom of the table.

Key Points:
  • Pereira was dismissed after losing eight of the club's first ten league matches.
  • Wolves are the first Premier League team to go winless in ten opening games for two consecutive seasons.
  • The decision came just over a month after he signed a new three-year contract.
  • A clause in his new deal allowed the club to part ways without a full payout.
  • Tensions had escalated with fans, including a recent heated confrontation after a loss.
  • His overall record was 14 wins, 19 defeats, and 5 draws across 38 games.
  • The club's only victories this season came in the Carabao Cup before elimination.
The dismissal underscores the brutal demands of top-flight football, where even recent contract extensions offer no protection against relentless competitive pressure.
