Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday announced the dismissal of their head coach, Vitor Pereira.
The Portuguese tactician was sacked after his team’s emphatic 3-0 loss to Fulham on Saturday.
Wolves’ defeat at Craven Cottage followed a first-half red card for defender Emmanuel Agbadou, with Pereira subjected to chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” by the travelling fans.
The league defeat followed the 4-3 loss to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
The latest league result means the Molineux club is yet to win a single match after 10 rounds of fixtures.
Wolves now sit eight points from safety, having picked up only two points so far this season.
Pereira’s sacking comes only 45 days after he signed a new three-year contract.
All eight of his backroom staff have also left the club. Under-21 head coach James Collins and U18 head coach Richard Walker are set to take training while the club finalise the appointment of a new first-team head coach.
Speaking after the dismissal, Wolves Executive chairman, Jeff Shi, said: “Vitor and his team worked tirelessly for Wolves and helped guide us through a challenging period last season, for which we are grateful.
”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.”
