César Peixoto erupts at Wolves! Ex-Benfica boss axes player, asks security | OneFootball

César Peixoto is facing his first major disciplinary problem since taking charge of Wolverhampton. The former Benfica player saw a training session unexpectedly interrupted after an incident involving Tolu Arokodare, the 25-year-old striker, who was ultimately removed from the squad and placed on the transfer market.

According to journalist Nathan Judah, it all happened during Monday’s training session. Arokodare refused to leave the pitch when instructed to do so by César Peixoto, prompting the Portuguese coach to cancel training earlier than planned. The Nigerian player’s attitude was not well received by the coaching staff, who decided to act immediately in response to what had happened.

The consequences were felt the very next day. According to the same source, Wolverhampton increased security at the Compton Park training ground to ensure that the striker would not be able to re-enter the club’s facilities. At the same time, the English club’s officials decided to place the African forward on the transfer list, seeking a solution for his departure.

The episode represents an important test of leadership for the former Benfica player, who showed he is not willing to tolerate indiscipline in the dressing room. The decision to immediately sideline Arokodare shows the intention to maintain clear rules within the group, at a time when Wolverhampton continue to prepare for the new season.
