Gary O’Neil, manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers, is facing intense scrutiny as he fights to hold onto his job in the midst of a dismal start to the 2024/25 season. Following a crushing 4-0 loss to Everton, O’Neil’s position is hanging by a thread, with his future dependent on the outcome of the upcoming match against West Ham United.
Sitting in 19th place and three points away from safety, Wolves are already making preparations for a potential change in leadership. According to reports, the club has identified West Bromwich Albion’s Carlos Corberan as a top candidate to replace O’Neil should he be let go. However, Graham Potter is also being considered for the role.
As rumors swirl around Corberan’s possible move to Wolves, the West Brom manager has remained silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying the speculation. A departure to their rivals would come as a major shock to West Brom fans, who have come to appreciate Corberan’s work during his tenure with the club.
While Corberan has also been linked to other managerial positions, such as at Leicester City, his impressive track record at West Brom has garnered attention from multiple Premier League clubs. David Moyes, a proven manager with experience at Everton, is another potential candidate for the Wolves job.
As the pressure mounts on O’Neil and the uncertainty surrounding his future grows, the question remains: will Carlos Corberan or another candidate step in to lead Wolves out of their current predicament?
