Exclusive: Vitor Pereira set for Wolves showdown talks
Wolves are preparing to sit down for contract talks with Vitor Pereira after his impressive start at the club, sources have told Football Insider.
Pereira, 56, succeeded Gary O’Neil at Molineux in late December and has masterminded a fantastic turnaround at the Midlands club.
Wolves were 19th in the Premier League when he arrived at the club but are now 16th and 14 points clear of the relegation zone.
Pereira’s contract at Molineux only runs until June 2026 after he left Saudi Pro League club Al-Shabab for the role in England.

The Portuguese boss came highly-rated in Saudi Arabia and has endeared himself to the Wolves fans – even visiting a local pub in the aftermath of their win over Tottenham on Sunday (13 April).
Sources say all parties are happy to sit down and discuss a contract extension in the coming months ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Pereira has taken charge of 16 games in all competitions at Wolves, picking up 10 wins and two draws.
He will have to contend with interest in a number of the club’s highly-rated stars in the summer window – including Matheus Cunha, Joao Gomes and Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Fofana is regarded as one of the best young keepers in Europe and has the best post-shot expected goals (PSxG) record of any goalkeeper in Europe’s top five leagues this term.
