New boss Cesar Peixoto has vowed to “do everything” to take Wolves back to the Premier League.
Peixoto was officially confirmed as Wolves’ new head coach this afternoon. The 46-year-old has signed a two-year deal, subject to a work permit.
The Portuguese coach arrives at Molineux as the successor to Rob Edwards after recently guiding Gil Vicente to a sixth-place finish in the Primeira Liga, and has vowed to build a team supporters can be proud of.
“I’m proud to be here at this big, historic club in England,” Peixoto said after becoming Wolves’ new boss.
“It’s a big opportunity for me and I’m prepared to do everything to put Wolves where it belongs in the Premier League.
“We have great players, but I think the team can improve a lot with me and I can improve as a technical head coach. I want to put my identity onto the team, build a strong identity at the club and also help the team to grow by showing my identity and my way of playing.
“This is an amazing club, and it is important for me to make Wolves play in a way which reflects the fans. It’s a hard-working city with a lot of energy and a lot of passion, and I want them to see a team which plays an offensive game, with good organisation and a team who play for the fans.
“I want the supporters to be proud of our players, be proud of the way we play and the way we fight game after game to bring the victory, and to achieve the main aim, which is to put Wolves back in the Premier League.”
The former Portugal international was part of Jose Mourinho’s Champions League-winning Porto squad during his lengthy playing career before he moved into coaching.
Peixoto is now tasked with leading Wolves to promotion back to the Premier League following their relegation to the Championship under Edwards who was sacked last week.
