Wolves have sacked their head coach Gary O'Neil.
The team currently sit in nineteenth position in the Premier League table, on just nine points.
They succumbed to a two-one defeat at home yesterday against Ipswich Town.
Boos rained down on Wolves at the final whistle, with Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri both involved in separate scuffles.
Speaking after yesterday's defeat, O'Neil said: “It’s a big blow. A big blow for the group, especially with how much it took for us to get ourselves in the game and be the better side for the whole of the second half."
Who is Gary O'Neil?
O’Neil, 40, was born in London and started his football career as a midfielder - featuring for the likes of Portsmouth, West Ham and Bolton Wanderers.
What's his management history?
As a manager, his career has only just started with seven months spent at the helm of AFC Bournemouth.
He joined the Cherries as first-team coach in February 2021 and was a member of the coaching staff as the club regained a place in the Premier League after being promoted from the Championship the season before.
He took charge of 12 games on an interim basis at the end of August 2022 and helped steady the ship following three defeats.
Bournemouth is his only serious managerial credential, having taken over originally as caretaker boss following the departure of Scott Parker in November 2022.
Originally nailed on favourites for Premier League relegation, O’Neil soon turned Bournemouth’s fortune around.
Following the 9-0 thumping to Liverpool on the opening day of the season, O’Neil took Bournemouth on a six-game unbeaten run which included a goalless draw with Wolves.
His teams performances in the month of September earned him a Premier League Manager of the Month nomination.
