Dec 15, 2024, 12:11 PM

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked head coach Gary O'Neil less than 24 hours after their 2-1 home defeat to Ipswich Town. The loss leaves Wolves in 19th place in the Premier League table, with only two wins from 16 matches and four consecutive league defeats. Despite chairman Jeff Shi expressing support for O'Neil three days earlier, stating the club was "united" behind him, the decision was made to relieve him of his duties. O'Neil is the third Premier League manager to be dismissed this season. Notably, former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was spotted at the match.
