Exclusive: 56-Year-Old Manager Eyes PL Job After Everton Move 'Very Close'
Vitor Pereira believes he will eventually manage in the Premier League after narrowly missing out on taking charge of Everton.
www.givemesport.comHere’s the latest on Vítor Pereira based on recent reporting:
- In early 2025, Pereira was hired by Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) to help with their Premier League survival efforts, taking over a team in a precarious position after leaving Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia. This marked a return to top-flight football in England for Pereira, who has coached in multiple countries. [AP News/Associated Press coverage cited in early 2025 reports]
- By November 2025, reports and broadcasts indicated that Wolves had sacked Pereira after a stretch of poor results that left the club bottom of the Premier League, including a 3-0 defeat to Fulham in their latest match before the dismissal. Premier League-breaking coverage from Sky Sports and NBC Sports corroborates the firing. [Sky Sports News/ NBC Sports coverage]
- In September 2025, Wolves reportedly extended Pereira’s contract by three years despite a difficult start to the season, highlighting how the club publicly backed him during that period. This added contract extension was reported across multiple outlets following the late-2024 appointment. [Ground News and Reuters-style summaries]
