Wolves have appointed Vitor Pereira as their new head coach as they battle for Premier League survival.
The 56-year-old Portuguese manager has left Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab to join Wolves on an 18-month contract after the Midlands side, battling to avoid relegation, sacked Gary O’Neil.
Pereira, who is the Midlands club’s third Portuguese manager after Nuno Espirito Santo and Bruno Lage, takes over a team who are five points adrift of the safety zone.

“Pereira, who departs Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab, has taken training at Compton Park for the first time on Thursday and will be in charge when Wolves travel to Leicester City this weekend,” the club said in a statement.
Pereira faces a tough task to get Wolves’ season back on track, with the team having the worst defence in the league after conceding 40 goals.
Wolves’ next game is at 17th-placed Leicester City on Sunday, with tougher fixtures coming up against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur later this month.
