Premier League strugglers Wolves are expected to announce Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira as their new manager after taking the decision to sack Gary O'Neil on Sunday. This development comes as the club looks to turn their fortunes around in the highly competitive English top-flight league. While Vitor Pereira may have had an impressive managerial career so far, one incident in his past has left many tongues wagging.
It appears that Vitor Pereira has used an unusual excuse in the past to justify his departure from previous managerial roles. According to various reports, the Portuguese tactician has blamed his mother-in-law for his hasty exits on more than one occasion. The reason behind this excuse is not entirely clear, but it has raised a few eyebrows in footballing circles.
Despite this quirk, Pereira's managerial credentials remain impressive. He has had successful stints in his native Portugal, not to mention managerial roles in Greece and Saudi Arabia. His experience in handling different teams and leagues should serve him well in the high-pressure environment of the Premier League.
Wolves' decision to sack Gary O'Neil may have come as a surprise to some fans, but it is a clear indication of the club's desire to climb up the league table. Currently, the team finds itself languishing near the relegation zone, which is not the desired outcome given the talent at their disposal. It remains to be seen how Vitor Pereira will fare in his new role, but one thing is certain: he'll need to find a more convincing reason than his mother-in-law if he's to win over the Wolves faithful.
