Exclusive: Former Tottenham And Celtic Boss Ange Postecoglou Being Lined up to Become New Wolves Manager

Ange Postecoglou is being lined up to become the new Wolves boss following Vitor Pereira’s sacking on Sunday, SportsBoom can exclusively reveal.

Aussie boss Postecoglou has been out of work since 18th October when he was sacked by Nottingham Forest after a dismal start to the Premier League season.

And although the 60-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to his former club Celtic, our sources understand Postecoglou favours another opportunity in the Premier League.

He was brutally dismissed by Forest after just 39 days in charge, the second shortest in Premier League history.

But after just over a fortnight away, the former Hoops and Tottenham manager is targeting a quick Premier League return. This high-profile job hunt is already influencing the managerial markets on major betting sites with a welcome bonus, as they adjust their odds for the next Wolves boss.

He guided Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years by beating Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final last season.

And at Celtic he won five trophies, winning the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup titles in his first season, before inspiring a memorable Treble the next season before Spurs tempted him to the Premier League.

Wolves have made a poor start to this season under Portuguese coach Pereira, who only signed a contract extension in September of this year.

WINLESS START

The 57-year-old has endured a frustrating winless start to the season, with disgruntled Wolves fans chanting “you’re getting sacked in the morning” after a dismal 3-0 defeat at Fulham. For supporters looking to engage with the club's precarious situation, this kind of volatile narrative is often featured on betting apps with no minimum deposit, allowing low-stakes wagers on outcomes like the next manager.

Wolves executive chairman Jeff Shi confirmed Pereira’s dismissal in a brief statement on Sunday.

“Vitor and his team worked tirelessly for Wolves and helped guide us through a challenging period last season, for which we are grateful,” said Shi.

“Unfortunately, the start to this season has been a disappointment and, despite our strong desire to give the head coach time and matches to find an improvement, we have reached a point where we must make a change.

“We thank Vitor and his staff for their efforts and wish them the very best for the future.”

Pereira became the fourth Premier League manager to be sacked this season with Wolves rooted to the bottom of the division after ten games.
