Wolves fans are currently expressing concern over the team’s poor start to the Premier League season, as they remain winless after seven games. While the challenging fixture list played a role in the rough start, defensive lapses and an inability to maintain leads have also contributed to their struggles. Gary O’Neil, Wolves’ current manager, is under mounting pressure, especially with two difficult upcoming games against Manchester City and Brighton. However, Wolves’ board is continuing to support O’Neil for the time being.
The next set of fixtures, including matches against Crystal Palace, Southampton, Fulham, and Bournemouth, could be crucial for O’Neil’s future at the club. Should he fail to secure a sufficient points return from these matches, his position could be in jeopardy. In this context, there is growing speculation among fans and bookmakers about potential managerial replacements, with **Sergio Conceicao** emerging as a name of interest.
Conceicao, who had a highly successful seven-year tenure at FC Porto, is currently unattached. His time at Porto saw him secure 11 trophies, including three league titles, and achieve an impressive 72.3% win rate. Known for his high-risk, possession-based, pressing style of football, Conceicao would likely need substantial backing in the transfer market to implement his philosophy effectively at Wolves. Conceicao was previously linked with Wolves in 2021 and 2022, and his name is once again being floated as a possible candidate should O’Neil’s situation not improve .
For now, O’Neil has the opportunity to turn things around, but the next several games could be decisive in determining whether he remains in charge at Molineux.
