Wolves took a significant step towards securing Premier League survival with a 2-1 win over Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Goals from Pablo Sarabia and Jorgen Strand Larsen handed Wolves a crucial three points, leaving them 12 points clear of the relegation zone with just seven games remaining.
Manager Vitor Pereira has been instrumental in the team’s turnaround, taking charge in December after Gary O’Neil’s departure. Pereira has brought a new sense of optimism to the club, and his achievements are starting to draw attention. Both Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer praised Pereira’s efforts, with Lineker saying he had done a “very good job” and Shearer adding that he had “calmed everything down” since taking over.
Pereira’s appointment was initially seen as a surprise, given his lack of experience in top European leagues. However, he has quickly won over the players and fans, and his ability to heal the dressing room and gain respect has been impressive.
Wolves are now on track to survive in the Premier League, and Pereira’s success has sparked hopes that he will receive strong backing in the transfer market this summer. The Portuguese manager has taken 18 games across all competitions, winning nine, drawing two, and losing seven, and has earned 29 points in the Premier League.
