Former Liverpool manager favourite to become next Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach

 Premier League pressure never waits.

Wolves have opened the season with no wins in ten matches, and in this league, patience is short.

When results don’t match expectations, decisions come fast.

It becomes even more dramatic when a manager signs a new long-term contract and still gets dismissed.

Fans grow restless.

Boards act to protect the club from survival battles.

And when a side is bottom of the table, the next move matters even more.

Now, Wolves are starting that search.

They need stability.

They need belief.

And naturally, attention has turned to experienced names — including one with a strong Liverpool connection.

For Liverpool supporters, it is an interesting twist, seeing a former figure from Anfield being linked to a team fighting at the opposite end of the table.

Wolves confirmed the dismissal of Vitor Pereira after losing eight of their first ten Premier League games.

They sit rooted to the bottom of the table and remain winless this season.

This decision came barely a month after he signed a new three-year contract, which would have kept him at the club until 2028.

The atmosphere had already turned sour.

After a recent defeat, some travelling supporters at Fulham were reported to have chanted “sacked in the morning” towards Pereira.

His frustration boiled over earlier against Burnley, where he reacted to criticism and had to be pulled away after shouting back at fans.

From a Liverpool point of view, the story gets more interesting because Brendan Rodgers — their former manager — is now the leading candidate to take over at Molineux.

TalkSPORT say he is the current favourite and is open to a Premier League return after resigning from Celtic.

Wolves are also considering former Manchester United managers Erik ten Hag and Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

But Rodgers remains the strongest link.

For Liverpool supporters, Rodgers is remembered for the 2013–14 title push.

Now, he could return to the Premier League with a completely different challenge, trying to keep Wolves in the division instead of chasing titles.
