New Wolves head coach Cesar Peixoto - by the numbers | OneFootball

Cesar Peixoto arrives as Wolves head coach, his career neatly framed by a run of key numbers. According to ExpressAndStar.com, these markers outline his journey.

In 1991 he joined Vitoria Guimaraes’ youth ranks, then in 1999 left for fourth-division Cacadores Taipas to gain a senior breakthrough.

A goal scored against Porto persuaded the club to sign him, and he later featured on and off for the 2004 Champions League winners.

After departing Porto he played for Braga, Benfica and Gil Vicente, earning one international cap along the way.

Wolves will be his ninth managerial post, his coaching career having started at Portuguese second-tier side Varzim.

At Gil Vicente he first kept the team in the top flight, then in his first full season led them to sixth in the Portuguese top division.

His move to Wolves marks the first time he has played or managed a competitive fixture for a club outside Portugal.
