Vítor Pereira Sparks Wolves Turnaround with Historic Premier League Run

Vítor Pereira’s impact at Wolverhampton Wanderers has been nothing short of remarkable. When the Portuguese coach took over the club, Wolves were in 19th place after 16 matches in the Premier League. Just four months later, the team sits 17 points clear of that position.

Under Pereira’s leadership, Wolves have not only climbed the table but also made history by securing five consecutive Premier League victories — the longest winning streak the club has ever achieved in the competition.

The turnaround has been driven by improved defensive organization, consistent attacking output, and a renewed sense of confidence across the squad. Pereira, known for his tactical flexibility, has managed to stabilise results and bring out the best in players who had previously struggled for form.

• Vítor Pereira previously managed top European sides including FC Porto, Olympiacos, and Fenerbahçe, winning domestic titles in both Portugal and Greece.
• This is his first managerial job in the Premier League.
• Wolves’ five-match winning streak surpasses their previous best of four, achieved during the 2018/19 season under Nuno Espírito Santo.
• The club has not finished in the top half of the Premier League table since 2020.

Wolves’ recent rise under Pereira reflects one of the most dramatic mid-season revivals in recent Premier League history. With several games still to play, the team will aim to maintain their momentum and secure a strong finish — a far cry from their relegation-threatened position earlier in the campaign.
