**Wolves have parted company with Vitor Pereira ahead of facing Chelsea in the Premier League.**
After 10 Premier League games played, Wolves have yet to pick up a win and only managed to claim two points, putting them already at major risk of relegation.
Pereira has been under pressure for weeks, with supporters calling for the 57-year-old to be sacked, and Wolves have finally made the decision to relieve the Portuguese of his duties.
It comes after a 3-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday and it proved to be the final straw for the Wolves hierarchy, as reported by [Ben Jacobs](https://x.com/JacobsBen/status/1984944386552037511).
“I’m disappointed today," reflected Pereira after Fulham. "I’m not proud of my wok, of our work, because I don’t know why. I don’t know if it’s because mentally, we put a lot of energy in the last game against Chelsea until the last minute.
“But what I realised today was a very difficult game for us, tactically, technically, physically. We played maybe one of the worst games that we’ve played. Even with 11 against 11, since the first minute the energy to move, the offensive dynamic, and the energy to press was not there.
“After five minutes, I started to realise that something is missing today. But the game was balanced, because even then, they were not playing in a high level. But after the goal, we tried to do something, but not in our level. After the red card, it was very difficult for us.”
Wolves' next fixture comes against Chelsea in the Premier League on November 8 at Stamford Bridge, which will see the Blues come up against another face in the opposition dugout.
Chelsea and Wolves came head-to-head on October 29 in the Carabao Cup, with [Enzo Maresca's side holding on for a 4-3 win to progress into the quarter-finals](https://www.si.com/onsi/soccer/chelsea/match-coverage/wolves-3-4-chelsea-delap-sees-red-as-blues-overcome-carabao-cup-scare-to-reach-quarter-finals-01k8rm4sk6xe) despite a Wolves rally in the second half.
Pereira also becomes the third opposition manager Chelsea have faced to lose his job, following Graham Potter and Ange Postecoglou after their respective West Ham and Nottingham Forest dismissals.
