Wolves Eye Solskjaer as Pressure Mounts on Pereira
Wolverhampton, England – Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly monitoring the progress of head coach Vitor Pereira, with former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer emerging as a potential replacement, according to a BBC report. The club’s hierarchy is said to be seriously considering Solskjaer as a leading candidate should results not improve.
Pereira, who joined Wolves on December 19, 2024, on an 18-month contract, initially replaced Gary O’Neil with the mandate to steer the team away from Premier League relegation. Despite successfully achieving this goal and subsequently signing a new three-year contract in September 2025, extending his commitment to the club, Wolves’ current form has raised concerns.
The team is yet to secure a single victory this season, leaving them languishing near the bottom of the league table. This poor start has led to increased scrutiny on Pereira’s management and tactical approach. While the club invested in new players during the summer transfer window, the team has struggled to find cohesion and consistency on the pitch.
Solskjaer, who previously managed Manchester United from 2018 to 2021, is currently without a club and is believed to be open to a return to management in the Premier League. His experience in handling high-pressure situations and his track record of developing young players are seen as attractive qualities by the Wolves’ board.
The BBC report indicates that initial discussions have already taken place between representatives of Solskjaer and Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, no formal offer has been made at this stage. The club is reportedly keen to give Pereira time to turn things around, but the pressure is mounting with each passing week.
Wolves fans have expressed their frustration with the team’s performances, and social media has been abuzz with speculation about Pereira’s future. The upcoming matches will be crucial for the Portuguese coach as he seeks to prove his ability to lead the team to success. The potential arrival of Solskjaer would undoubtedly inject fresh impetus into the squad, but it remains to be seen whether Wolves will make a change in the dugout.
