Wolves have sacked Vitor 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 September 16.
However, results failed to improve and 57-year-old Pereira has been dismissed following Saturday’s 3-0 loss at Fulham.
Executive chairman Jeff Shi said: “Vitor and his team worked tirelessly for Wolves and helped guide us through a challenging period last season, for which we are grateful.
“Unfortunately, the start to this season has been a disappointment and, despite our strong desire to give the head coach time and matches to find an improvement, we have reached a point where we must make a change.
“We thank Vitor and his staff for their efforts and wish them the very best for the future.”
