According to TEAMtalk, Wolverhampton Wanderers have no intention of parting ways with their current manager, Vitor Pereira, and rumors linking Daniele De Rossi to the Molineux hot seat are unfounded.
Pereira took the reins at Wolves in December 2024, signing an 18-month contract after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al Shabab FC.
His appointment came in the wake of Gary O’Neil’s sacking, prompted by a dismal stretch of 11 losses in 16 Premier League matches. At the time, Wolves were in a precarious position, but Pereira has since steadied the ship, lifting both results and performances.
Currently, Wolves sit 17th in the Premier League standings, having earned 26 points from 29 games. With a nine-point buffer above the relegation zone and victories in two of their last four league outings, the club—nicknamed the Old Gold—has seen a marked upturn under Pereira’s guidance.
TEAMtalk has learned that the Wolves hierarchy is satisfied with the progress made since his arrival.
Insiders confirm that Wolves are not only content with Pereira but are actively collaborating with him on long-term plans, with no thought given to seeking a replacement.
Despite recent whispers suggesting the club might turn to Daniele De Rossi, the former AS Roma icon who has been jobless since leaving the Serie A side in September 2024, TEAMtalk sources dismiss these claims.
Wolves have no interest in De Rossi and are fully committed to Pereira, who has delivered tangible improvements since taking charge.
In his 13 matches at the helm, Pereira has notched five wins and two draws, amassing 17 points—a stark contrast to the nine points collected in the 16 league games prior to his arrival.
TEAMtalk’s sources emphasize that Pereira’s job is safe, and he’s already laying the groundwork for the next season, signaling a stable and forward-looking approach at Molineux.
