The 2024/25 season has been turbulent for Wolves, but Vitor Pereira’s appointment in December has brought a breath of fresh air. After Gary O’Neil’s departure, Pereira has turned things around, securing crucial points and stabilizing the team.
Former Premier League winger Shaun Wright-Phillips believes Pereira’s impact lies in the structure and solidity he’s brought to the team. “He’s kind of given them some structure and some solidity, and they’ve kind of kicked on from there,” Wright-Phillips said.
The defensive improvement has been crucial, with Wolves no longer leaking goals at an alarming rate. The back three of Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Toti Gomes has been solid, and Pereira’s tactics have helped the team defend more effectively.
Wolves are now playing with more cohesion and composure, no longer letting emotions dictate their performances. This marks a significant shift from the O’Neil era, when the team was prone to erratic displays. Pereira’s influence has transformed Wolves, and they’re now on track to secure safety with ease.
