Fourth consecutive loss leads to O'Neil's sacking

LONDON -

The club are second from bottom of the table with just nine points from 16 games after the previous day's painful 2-1 home loss to fellow strugglers Ipswich Town, who are just above them with three more points.

"Wolves have parted company with head coach Gary O'Neil and his backroom staff," the club said in a statement.

"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."

Chairman Jeff Shi said the club were "grateful to Gary for all of his effort, dedication and hard work".
