Vítor Pereira’s Wolves reign gets off to flying start against brittle Leicester
It took less than 45 minutes of his Wolves tenure for the supporters to sing Vítor Pereira’s name as he witnessed his new side thrash Leicester. The Portuguese will, however, want to take note of his opposite number, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has gone from triumph in his first game in charge to being booed off in fewer than three weeks.
The atmosphere at Wolves has been dark in recent weeks. Mario Lemina lost the captaincy after an altercation with West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, Matheus Cunha was charged by the Football Association for taking out his anger last weekend on spectacles belonging to a member of Ipswich staff and Gary O’Neil paid for only securing nine points from 16 games with his job but that was forgotten at the King Power Stadium.
