Unlikely, Wolves are a basket case and Vitor has proved over time that hes a really bad manager.

Sounds like a walking disaster for Wolves or any PL club tbh.

Mad that the BBC can know the following about him but Wolves have appointed him regardless or just not done their due diligence.

The bolded bit in particular makes me think the PL will make him lose his marbles...

He has made himself known instead for a tactically flexible approach, describing it as a 'transformer structure' which allows his teams to change system during games.

However, this can sometimes prove a bit too flexible, given he has been criticised by his own players for training one way and playing another.

"There were situations [at Corinthians] where we played with a back five, which we had never trained for. One day, he said: 'Look, I've realised this doesn't work.' But in the very next match, there we were with a back five again. That kind of thing frustrated the players," said former Brazil international Giuliano.

That was not the main issue in his recent roles, though.

Pereira has admitted lacking communication skills, and that has been clear both with the media and the players.

He was widely criticised - and later apologised - for bringing up his bank balance after being asked in a news conference if he was scared of getting sacked.

"You must be joking with me, mate," he told a reporter in Brazil. "You've got to be kidding me with that question. At this stage of my life, of my career, do you think I'm afraid of losing my job? Do you have any idea how much money I've got in the bank, mate?

"My life is stable, I don't need to worry... I'm here at Corinthians, and if it's not Corinthians, it'll be another club. Whenever I want."

Pereira's temper and willingness to speak his mind can also be a problem in the dressing room.

His explosive nature and 'my way or the highway' approach have not gone down well with some of his players in the past.

Pereira can be hot-headed and says whatever he thinks he has to say to whoever needs to hear it. It is part of his personality he credits to his humble roots, but also a mechanism of self-defence.

He has also said he does not know how to deal with "spoiled players" - "rich kids that have never suffered, and don't know how to suffer in life".

Several Corinthians players publicly welcomed his departure from the club after just 10 months in 2022.

"We were happy that he was leaving, I don't need to lie," said winger Roger Guedes.

Controlling his passionate nature will be key if he is to succeed with Wolves in his first Premier League adventure.

Absolutely. We've had fans fuming over manager comments before, but take that comment about his bank balance for instance and change Corinthians to Everton...

"You must be joking with me, mate," he told a reporter in Brazil. "You've got to be kidding me with that question. At this stage of my life, of my career, do you think I'm afraid of losing my job? Do you have any idea how much money I've got in the bank, mate?

"My life is stable, I don't need to worry... I'm here at Everton, and if it's not Everton, it'll be another club. Whenever I want."

I'd literally be seething, and I normally take anything managers say with a pinch of salt.
 
Got an interview at Everton because he interviewed well 10 years before :lol:

In those 10 years, he took a big German club to the 3. Liga (ended up Regionalliga).
Managed in 7 different countries, became the highest paid manager in the World (true story, unbelievably), was sacked 4 times, had 8 roles and Turned up on Sky Sports News to beg for the Everton Job.

Good Luck Wolves, you'll need it.
