Pereira close to new Wolves deal despite four defeats

Despite their poor start to the season, manager Vitor Pereira is close to signing a new Wolves contract.

At the conclusion of the campaign, the Portuguese’s contract expires, and it’s likely that a deal will be reached before weekend.

It demonstrates the club’s faith in Pereira, who took Gary O’Neil’s place in December.

Leeds host Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday after losing their first four league games to the bottom.

In the EFL Cup, West Ham was defeated, but they could become just the sixth Premier League team to lose their first five games.

In December, Pereira took over Wolves in the bottom three before moving them to safety, 17 points above the relegation zone.

They haven’t won in the top flight since March’s six successive Premier League victories, including a 3-0 victory over Leicester, to ensure survival.

Pereira was required to stay, according to executive chairman Jeff Shi earlier this month.

Wolves require stability right now; we require a coach to stay here and provide long-term assistance, he said. Every coach requires a lot of time and a puzzle. The coach and the players should have enough time to get ready for the season, according to us.

The squad and the coach, the chemistry and unity, in my opinion, are more crucial to defining this season. You will have a strong season if you have that foundation. If you don’t, there may be a question you have.
