The inevitability of Gary O’Neil’s sacking came to fruition this weekend following Wolves’ dismal start to the 2024/25 Premier League campaign. Now, the club has the difficult job of finding an apt replacement for him.

Below are the latest betting odds for Wolves' next permanent manager at the time of this post.

Fault out of his hands as O'Neil blames his squad
Wolves currently sit in 19th place and 5 points away from safety after being dealt another huge blow against Ipswich Town on Saturday with Jack Taylor’s 94th-minute winner drawing the curtain on O’Neil’s tenure at the Molineux.
Following the game, O’Neil took to the media to criticise his players in the light of their defeat to the Tractor Boys, claiming he 'could not fix' some of the mistakes made by players. For this reason alone, a split made all sense because players will struggle to play for a manager who has publically criticised them.
Next Wolves Manager Odds - The Bookies Favourites
Let's go over the favourites to replace Gary O'Neil and the odds for each manager.
Vitor Pereira - 1/6
Al-Shabab manager Vitor Pereira is currently the overwhelming favourite to succeed O’Neil according to the bookies.
The Portuguese manager is priced at 1/6 to be in the Molineux dugout ahead of the likes of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who was in attendance on Saturday.
Pereira’s Al-Shabab currently sit in sixth place in the Saudi Pro League. Pereira currently coaches former Wolves forward Daniel Podence who may be educating his boss on life in the midlands with a move looking very likely.

Carlos Corberan - 12/1
West Brom manager Carlos Corberan is currently the second favourite to take over after impressing in the Championship with the Baggies, and the Midlands club could have a struggle on their hands to appoint him with fellow strugglers Southampton considering him.
In his past two jobs in England, the Spaniard has heavily impressed in difficult jobs and with reports suggesting he is frustrated about his situation, he could attempt to push for a move.
The Spaniard is currently 12/1, but with the price of Pereira, it is difficult to really look at his odds with much confidence.

The Odds Elsewhere
David Moyes, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and John Eustace are also listed as possible candidates with their odds ranging from 12/1 to 16/1. With the current gap between Vitor Pereira and the rest of the market though, there does not seem to be much value in the other picks.

Odds on Wolves to Get Relegated
Wolves’ relegation odds continue to drop with them now priced at 5/6 to fall into the Championship, as of December 16. The only silver lining for the Molineux side is that Southampton, Ipswich and Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s Leicester are still favoured ahead of them to go down.
