Wolverhampton, João Gomes's team, is not working on an agreement to appoint Vítor Pereira, formerly of Flamengo, as its new head coach, following the departure of Gary O’Neil. The Premier League club is willing to pay the release clause in the 56-year-old's contract with Saudi Pro League side Al Shabab. Personal terms should not be an issue as VP would be interested in moving to Molineux and excited about the quality of the squad.
Vitor Pereira has built a strong reputation for his ability to deal with big names and improve players, as well as speaking multiple languages, including fluent English.
If the points-per-game rate he achieved for most of his coaching career is replicated at the West Midlands club, it should be enough to keep the team in the top flight.
According to 'The Athletic', the factors that led Wolverhampton to target Vitor Pereira are the disciplineand the emotional sensitivity that he applies to his work, both considered particularly important given the recent problems faced by Wolves.
Gary O'Neil led the Wolverhampton to 14th position in his first season in charge, achieving victories against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. He also led the team to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
The 41-year-old had signed a new four-year contract with the club in August, but this season has been far more disappointing, with just two league wins before the decision to sack him. lo, following the defeatto Ipswich Town on Saturday.
That result — decided by a 94th-minute goal — came five days after Monday's 2-1 defeat to West Ham. In 16 Premier League games, Wolverhampton conceded 40 goals. Wolves return to the field on Saturday against Leicester City.
At Flamengo
In his short spell at Flamengo, what was most important for his dismissal was the the fact that he was defeated in all the finals he played for the club until then: Recopa Sul-Americana; Brazilian Super Cup; and Campeonato Carioca. Furthermore, lost the semi-final of the Club World Cup to Al-Hilal and ended up in third place.
Vítor Pereira left Mais Querido with a performance of 57%, which was the worst among the three coaches who were at the head of the team in 2023. Sampaoli, after playing 39 games, losing eight, drawing 11 and winning 20, came out with a 60.7% success rate. Tite was with the team in 12 games, winning seven, one draw and having four defeats. The utilization was 60.8%.

Flamengo and Mirassol face each other this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro arrives at the clash after being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil, with the mission of winning to maintain the leadership of the competition. On the other side, they will have an opponent motivated by a campaign above all expectations .
Flamengo has 37 points, the same number as Cruzeiro, but leads on goal difference (24 to 19) and still has a game in hand over the Minas Gerais team. A victory at Maracanã will guarantee the Rio de Janeiro club the top of the table at the end of the first round .
Mirassol, meanwhile, is the big revelation in this Série A. In its debut season, the São Paulo team sits fifth with 28 points— the result of seven wins, seven draws, and only two losses in 16 matches . Interestingly, it's the team with the fewest losses in the championship, along with Flamengo . With a victory, the newcomer could enter the top four of the competition.
If Flamengo wins this Saturday, it will end Mirassol's three-month unbeaten streak. The São Paulo team's last loss was to Red Bull Bragantino on May 5th . Since then, Rafael Guanaes's team has won six and drawn three, with an impressive 77% success rate.
Initial projections pointed to a relegation battle, due to an experienced squad, an average age over 29, and several well-known names, such as midfielder Gabriel, formerly of Flamengo . However, the team's performance in the first round exceeded expectations: third-best attack (27 goals) and sixth-best defense (16 conceded), in addition to good results against more popular opponents.
Despite this, the strategy against Flamengo should follow the usual visiting team strategy at Maracanã: a defensive posture, deep lines, and a reliance on counterattacks . Flamengo, in turn, should control possession and look for spaces to create the chances that will secure the victory.
