Wolves hope to produce speedy nominatement after sacking Gary O’Neil as head coach | Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves aim to produce a speedy nominatement after the club took action in their relegation fight by sacking Gary O’Neil on Sunday morning.

O’Neil, who has been under groprosperg prescertain since the commence of the season, was fired less than 24 hours after seeing his side leave out 2-1 at home to Ipswich on Saturday. Wolves are 19th in the Premier League after four consecutive losss, four points away from Crystal Palace in 17th place, and have the worst defensive sign up in the top fweightless after conceding 40 goals in 16 games.

The Molineux club gave O’Neil a novel lessen in August and were unwilling to produce a alter. An publish for Wolves has been remending the right swapment for the 41-year-greater. Graham Potter, the establisher Brighton and Chelsea handler, rebuffed their interest in him last month and it is thought that David Moyes, the establisher West Ham handler, would not be straightforward to engage. Wolves have previously shown interest in the West Brom handler, Carlos Corberán, but the Spaniard is seen as an improbable nominatement. They visit Leicester next Sunday and want to convey in a novel handler this week.

The West Midlands club have been enthusiastic to dodge a repeat of the uncertainty that chaseed the sacking of Bruno Lage in October 2022. It took them another month to convey in Julen Lopetegui, who quit before the commence of last season, citing dissatisfaction with the club’s transfer strategy.

Wolves swapd Lopetegui with O’Neil and finished 14th after sign uping prospers over Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City. Yet a inestablishage of scatterment in the squad has come back to bite them. Over £200m has been elevated thraw sales in recent years, with Matheus Nunes, Rúben Neves, Conor Coady and Raúl Jiménez departing, and the talent drain persistd when Max Kilman and Pedro Neto left last summer.

O’Neil has had to pick up the pieces. Supporters have grown disillusioned with his tactics since the FA Cup quarter-final loss by Coventry in March. Results have deteriorated and morale has plummeted. Ipswich’s stoppage-time prosperner was the 20th time that Wolves have conceded from a set piece this season.

There were irritated scenes at brimming time, as the left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri had to be pulled away from an argument with the centre-back Craig Dawson. Mario Lemina had been nakedped of the captaincy after clashing with O’Neil’s helpant, Shaun Derry, at the finish of last Monday’s 2-1 loss at West Ham.
