Vitor Pereira has signed a new three-year contract at Wolves until June 2028.
Since his arrival at Molineux in mid-December 2024, Pereira guided Wolves to Premier League survival with doubles over Leicester City and Manchester United.
Pereira’s Old Gold however currently lies bottom of the top-flight table with no league wins this season but club bosses opted to award him with a new three-year contract, which keeps him at Molineux until June 2028 with the 57-year-old “very proud” to stay at the club.
“I’m very proud to be Wolves head coach. It’s an honour for me. This is the club that gave me the chance to come to the Premier League, the best league in the world. The people here embraced me as a member of the family, me and my staff we feel very good in the city, among the supporters.
“That’s why I really believe that with our work, with our supporters, with the support of the club, the fans and the city together, we will do it. We will increase our level, with ambition to make our supporters proud on the pitch.”
Pereira also called for unity in order to galvanise the team and avoid a relegation scrap this season.
“This is the moment that we need to be united. We are a one club city, and this city loves football. It is a passion. This is the spirit that we need to create together, to face and to compete with the best teams in this league.”
Chairman, Jeff Shi added: “Vitor has made a very positive impact during his time at Wolves. He’s brought clarity, energy and a team spirit that gives us a foundation to be successful.
“What he achieved last season was excellent, with a highly competitive record, including six Premier League wins in a row and a deserved nomination for the Manager of the Season award.
“Now is a time for stability. Vitor needs time to work with the squad, to build a chemistry with new players, and we will do everything to support him and his staff.”
