TBR Football understands that Gary O’Neil is open to a return to Wolves following the sacking of Vitor Pereira on Sunday.
Pereira was dismissed after a torrid start to the Premier League season, with Wolves winless in their opening 10 games.
Now, the search for a new manager is underway, and TBR Football can reveal that Gary O’Neil would be open to returning to Molineux.

Sources: Gary O’Neil will consider Wolves return
TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, revealed that former Wolves boss O’Neil is willing to consider a comeback.
“I am told that Gary O’Neil has made it known that he could be open to a return,” Bailey said.
“Fosun and the club’s hierarchy still like him, despite the way they parted last term. O’Neil still knows most of the players and thinks he can keep them up.”
O’Neil was head coach at Wolves from 2023 to 2024 and was sacked during the 24/25 campaign. He has not held a managerial role since.
The 42-year-old is well-liked among Wolves fans, and bringing him in during a relegation battle would be a sensible move.
Other managers in the mix are Brendan Rodgers and Roger Schmidt.
