Wolves have sacked manager Gary O’Neil following their last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Saturday. (Wolves sack boss amid dismal Premier League form)
It marked their fourth league defeat in a row, following a 4-2 loss to Bournemouth, a devastating 4-0 defeat against Everton and a 2-1 reverse at West Ham United.
Wolves remain 19th in the Premier League table, ahead of Southampton by four points though the south coast team have a game in hand.
O’Neil signed a four-year extension at the club in August after guiding the club to a 14th-placed finish with 46 points in the 2023-24 campaign. However, his side have struggled defensively since that extension, conceding a league-worst 40 goals after 16 games so far this term. (Wolves sack boss amid dismal Premier League form)
The former West Ham United defender becomes the third Premier League head coach to be relieved of his duties this season after Manchester United sacked Erik ten Hag and Leicester City fired Steve Cooper.
