Ex-Benfica man on Wolves’ radar after Vítor Pereira’s exit | OneFootball

Wolverhampton is facing an unprecedented sporting crisis and is looking for a new coach. After the dismissal of Vítor Pereira, who had been with the team since last season, the Premier League club sees Rui Vitória as a strong possibility. According to reports, the former Benfica manager is favored by the English side.

According to the PA news agency, the former Panathinaikos coach has already been approached by the Wolves' management; however, there is no concrete information about any negotiations between the two parties. Nevertheless, the story does not end there.

In the same report, after a season in Athens where he enjoyed some success with the Greek club, the former two-time national champion with Benfica is reportedly open to a move to England. Thus, according to PA, Rui Vitória may be open to negotiating with Wolves, after bidding farewell to Panathinaikos.

However, as also reported by the newspaper Record, Rui Vitória is not the only former Benfica coach on the Premier League club’s shortlist. According to the same source, Wolves are also considering the possibility of hiring Bruno Lage.

On the other hand, the status of the Setúbal native, who left the Estádio da Luz on September 16, is gaining traction, as he knows the club well, having previously coached Wolves, where he enjoyed some success and worked alongside several Portuguese players, such as Rúben Neves and Diogo Jota.
