Gary O'Neil
O’Neil saw his team crash to a late defeat at home to Ipswich Town on Saturday
Gary O’Neil has been sacked by Wolves this morning, Telegraph Sport understands.
O’Neil is the third Premier League casualty of the season with his dismissal coming after the 2-1 home defeat by Ipswich on Saturday.
Wolves’s defeat by Ipswich leaves the club 19th in the table and four points from safety, with the club deciding to reluctantly make a change.
O’Neill was under severe pressure before the last international break but secured a sorely needed home win over Southampton.
An impressive away win at Fulham appeared to suggest a revival under O’Neil - who signed a new contract in August - but four successive defeats against Bournemouth, Everton, West Ham and Ipswich have forced owners Fosun into ending his reign.
O’Neil earned widespread praise last season for guiding Wolves to a 14th placed finish after succeeding Julen Lopetegui, who walked out before the start of the campaign.
However, this season has proved a huge struggle and O’Neil will now leave after 18 months in charge.
