Wolves have sacked manager Vitor Pereira after losing eight of their opening ten games of the Premier League season.Now Gary O’Neil is under consideration for a shock return to Molineux. Pereira has been sacked, with Wolves winless in 10 games this seasonGettyO’Neil is still held in high regard by the Wolves ownersGettyO’Neil was sacked last December but is still held in high regard by owners Fosun.Pereira, who replaced O’Neil last year, departs Molineux with his side rooted to the bottom of the table and without a win following a dismal start to the campaign.Wolves are the first team in Premier League history to go winless in their opening 10 games in back-to-back seasons.It comes just over a month after the Portuguese signed a new three-year deal with the club, having been appointed in December last year.talkSPORT understands there was a clause in that new deal that means Wolves will not have to payout for the entire new contract.Wolves were beaten 3-0 by Fulham at Craven Cottage, and that result proved to be the final nail in the coffin. Executive chairman Jeff Shi said: “Vitor and his team worked tirelessly for Wolves and helped guide us through a challenging period last season, for which we are grateful.“Unfortunately, the start to this season has been a disappointment and, despite our strong desire to give the head coach time and matches to find an improvement, we have reached a point where we must make a change.“We thank Vitor and his staff for their efforts and wish them the very best for the future.”Under-21 head coach James Collins and under-18 head coach Richard Walker will take training while the club finalises the appointment of a new first-team head coach.A 3-0 away defeat to Fulham spelt the end for his time in chargeGettyTheir abysmal record sees them stuck at rock bottom in the Premier League tableThe sacking comes after Pereira and some of his players were involved in a heated confrontation with Wolves fans. He shouted in anger back at frustrated supporters following a loss to Burnley, having to be dragged away from the stands. Travelling Wolves fans at Fulham on Saturday were reported to have chanted ‘sacked in the morning’ towards Pereira. He had only signed a new contract extension in September, extending his stay until 2028. But just over a month later, he’s been dismissed, and now Wolves are on the lookout for a new manager.Pereira’s record as Wolves bossPereira leaves Wolves having taken charge of 38 games in total. Throughout those 38 matches, he won 14 and was beaten in 19 of them, along with five draws. This season, his only two wins came in the Carabao Cup before a 4-3 defeat to Chelsea ended that run too.And after going 10 games without victory in the Premier League, it spelt the end for him in the dugout.Wolves will hope to find their next boss soon, with some tough fixtures coming up and the threat of relegation growing. Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are their opponents in November, and clashes against Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool are coming up very soon.Rodgers is the current favourite to take over from Pereira at WolvesGettyWho else is considered for Wolves?While questions over Pereira’s future at Wolves were swirling, so were rumours of a potential replacement for him in the dugout.And now he has been sacked, could we see one of these big names take the hot seat in the West Midlands? Brendan Rodgers is the favourite to take over from Pereira, having resigned from his post at Celtic on Monday.talkSPORT understands he is open to a return to the Premier League, but no contact has been made.Meanwhile, ex-Man United manager Erik ten Hag is also a key contender, along with Red Devils legend Ole Gunnar Solskjær.Ten Hag was most recently in charge of Bayer Leverkusen, but his tenure ended after just 62 days and two league games.As for Solksjaer, his time at Turkish giants Besiktas came to an end just one hour after failing to qualify for the Conference League.See all ‘Next Wolves manager odds’ HERE
