Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced the sacking of head coach Gary O’Neil following a 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich Town at Molineux on Saturday. The loss, which left Wolves languishing in 19th place in the Premier League, prompted the club’s management to make the decision to part ways with O’Neil.
O’Neil was appointed in August 2023 and steered the team to a 14th-place finish in the previous season. However, this season has been fraught with challenges, as Wolves have managed to collect only nine points from 16 league games. A series of disappointing performances, capped by the loss to Ipswich, ultimately led to the club’s decision to seek new leadership.
