Sponsored by. GARY O'NEIL has been sacked as Wolves manager following Saturday's defeat to Ipswich. The club endured a nightmare run of form to sit 19th in the Premier League table with just two wins this season and four points from safety. But Jack Taylor's last-gasp winner for the Tractor Boys and the shocking scenes that followed on the pitch turned out to be the final straw for the manager.

Now O'Neil, 41, has been dismissed from his post after 16 months in charge at Molineux. Wolves confirmed the news with a blunt statement on Sunday lunchtime. It said: "Wolves have parted company with head coach Gary O’Neil and his backroom staff. "O’Neil arrived at Molineux just three days before the start of the 2023-24 Premier League season, taking on a significant challenge and ultimately guiding the Old Gold to a successful campaign.

Wolves fell behind yesterday with a comical own goal before Matheus Cunha fired in an equaliser. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS.
