WOLVES have agreed a deal with Vitor Pereira to take over as manager, according to reports. Gary O'Neil was sacked by the club on Sunday following a defeat to Ipswich. But Wolves have wasted no time in deciding who they want to replace him and have now agreed a deal with Pereira, according to Sky Sports News.

Next they will have to agree a compensation package with his current club Al-Shabab, but it is unlikely that should prove to be an issue. Pereira only joined the Saudi Pro League side in February and led them to an eighth-placed finish last season. He has continued that success this season with his side sixth in the league after picking up seven wins in 13 games.

Pereira, 56, will provide plenty of experience at Molineux having managed 13 clubs in his career. He has won six trophies including two titles with Porto, and league wins in Greece and China with Olympiacos and Shanghai SIPG. His knack for discipline and "emotional understanding" are reportedly characteristics which appeal to Wolves.
