"Wolves are considering former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, although Gary O'Neil remains the favourite to take over from Vitor Pereira, according to reports. The Athletic suggest O'Neil has already held talks with the Molineux hierarchy to return to a club that sacked him in December 2024. O'Neil signed a four-year contract four months earlier but was dismissed with Wolves in 19th place in the Premier League."
"The Dutchman spent nearly two and a half years at Old Trafford and did win them the EFL Cup in 2022 and FA Cup a year later. Yet there were persistent question marks around a lack of a clear playing style while bust-ups with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho undoubtedly weakened the squad and his leadership within the dressing room."
"Leverkusen stint did little to improve Ten Hag's reputation. A move to Leverkusen was supposed to offer a chance for Ten Hag to rebuild his reputation but it went south very quickly. The players never seemed convinced while those above him quickly realised they had made an error. The axe fell after a 3-3 draw at Werder Bremen when they squandered a 3-1 lead with a man advantage."
Wolves dismissed head coach Vitor Pereira following a 3-0 defeat at Fulham and a run of just two points from 10 league games, leaving them without a league win this season. Gary O'Neil is the reported favourite to return after holding talks with Molineux, having previously been sacked by Wolves in December 2024 despite signing a four-year contract months earlier. Former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is being considered but carries doubts after underperforming at United and a brief, unsuccessful stint at Bayer Leverkusen. Michael Carrick and Rob Edwards have also been linked as potential replacements.
