The reasons for dismissal are clear: Wolverhampton had their worst starting 16 games since 1983

Wolverhampton Wanderers have decided to part ways with head coach Gary O'Neil following their home defeat to Ipswich on Saturday.

The reasons behind the dismissal are evident, with the team's performance falling well short of expectations.

Details: Wolves have collected just 9 points while conceding 40 goals—marking their worst record in the opening 16 games of the top flight since the 1983-84 season (7 points, 40 goals conceded). That season, Wolves suffered the first of three consecutive relegations, eventually dropping to the fourth tier.

Reminder: Gary O'Neil was appointed head coach of Wolverhampton on August 9, 2023. Since then, he has overseen 63 matches, winning just 20 of them.

After 16 rounds, the team sits on 9 points, trailing Crystal Palace in 17th place by 4 points.
