Wolves sack coach after winless start

WOLVES have sacked Vitor Pereira weeks after he signed a new long-term contract.

- 

Pereira took over from Gary O'Neil last December and guided the Molineux club away from the relegation zone before he secured a 16th-placed finish after a notable double over Manchester United.

Matheus Cunha joined United in the summer and, despite a poor start to the new campaign, Pereira put pen-to-paper on a new deal on September 16.

However, results failed to improve and 57-year-old Pereira has been dismissed following Saturday's 3-0 loss at Fulham.
