Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday sacked manager Gary O'Neil after a run of four straight Premier League defeats left them stranded in the relegation zone. The club are second from bottom of the table with just nine points from 16 games after Saturday's painful 2-1 home loss to fellow strugglers Ipswich. "Wolves have parted company with head coach Gary O'Neil and his backroom staff," the club said in a statement. "O'Neil arrived at Molineux just three days before the start of the 2023/24 Premier League season, taking on a significant challenge and ultimately guiding the Old Gold to a successful campaign."
