Vitor Pereira took over as Wolves boss in December 2024 Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira has been fined £15, 000 for an incident of misconduct during the club's Premier League draw with Brighton on 5 October. Pereira, 57, admitted to an FA charge of acting in an improper manner in the 19th minute of the fixture. The Portuguese was sent off by referee Jarred Gillett after he kicked a spare match ball in the direction of the dugout, which struck an individual. Pereira avoided a touchline ban after a sporting sanction was not deemed necessary by an independent regulatory commission. However, it was decided the incident justified a greater financial sanction than a £8, 000 fine for a 'standard case'. Pereira issued an apology at his next press conference, saying: "I know football is emotional, and I'm an emotional guy. "But my behaviour was not proper. I kicked a ball and it cannot happen again. I apologise. " Wolves are bottom of the Premier League and winless after eight matches, before they host promoted side Burnley on Sunday (14: 00 GMT).
