Cesar Peixoto is surely hours from Wolves sack after 'damaging' scenes

Cesar Peixoto is already on the slippery slope to an early sacking as Wolves' frustrations continue.

The Old Gold have fallen to seventh in the Championship table after 11 games, most recently drawing 1-1 with Portsmouth on Tuesday, 20 October.

Jordan James opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, only for Terry Devlin to find the back of the net four minutes from time.

Having held onto the lead for so long, one point gained would have felt like two points dropped, especially when the manager is already fighting for his job.

Football Insider understands that Vitor Pereira, formerly of Nottingham Forest and Wolves, is being considered by the hierarchy.

Nobody can deny that the pressure is quickly mounting on Peixoto this season, and a decision may already be made on his future at Molineux.

Cesar Peixoto's future may already be sealed

If there were any images that summed up the immense pressure that Peixoto is under, it would be the full-time scenes between Wolves and Pompey.

The 46-year-old, who had already been cautioned in the second half, lashed out at John Mousinho after the referee called full-time on the game.

Staff were forced to separate the two, with emotions boiling over in the Black Country in scenes that Keith Hackett branded "unacceptable" and "damaging to the game".

The former PGMOL chief believes that both clubs will face punishment, with Peixoto potentially being banned from the sidelines.

Leading Wolves to a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth could be his final action as the manager at Molineux.

Who could Wolves appoint as Peixoto's replacement?

As revealed already, Pereira is being discussed as an option by the hierarchy, but he won't be the only figure being eyed.

Rob Edwards, who was let go during the summer, should definitely be in with a shout. But would he even want to return to the club?

The 43-year-old was expecteed to lead the Old Gold into the 2026-27 campaign in the Championship. Instead, he was treated horrendously.

Pereira appears to be the first-choice target at Molineux, but there's no doubt that Edwards would be a sensible appointment as well.
