Wolves can axe O’Neil for “ambitious” boss who was unbeaten in his last job
Time may soon be up for Gary O’Neil as the manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers. It has been a simply disastrous season for the Old Gold so far, with just one win and six points on the board after 11 games of the Premier League season.
Unsurprisingly, that has added increased pressure on their boss, who did well in adverse circumstances last term. He guided them to a 14th-place finish and survival in the top flight, although things this term have not gone as well.
If the higher-ups at Molineux decided to sack O’Neil, there have been plenty of replacements linked with the vacant role.
The candidates who could replace O’Neil
There are two unattached Premier League managers who could both make a good option for the Molineux side if O’Neil is removed from his post. They both have plenty of experience in the top flight, and both have a history of rebuilding sides and saving them from relegation. They are both targets for the club, according to Football Insider.
One of those men is Graham Potter. Although things did not go well for him as Chelsea manager, the Englishman built up a superb rapport at Brighton and Hove Albion, securing a 15th, 16th and ninth-place finish in each of his three full seasons at the club.
He certainly left them in a good way in the long run, with the Seagulls fighting for a European spot; they now sit sixth in the table this term
