Wolverhampton Wanderers have appointed Cesar Peixoto as their new manager, signing the Portuguese coach to a two-year contract following the dismissal of Rob Edwards last week. Peixoto, 46, arrives with the objective of guiding the club back to the Premier League after their relegation last season.

In his first comments as head coach, Peixoto emphasized his commitment to restoring Wolves to England’s top tier. He expressed a desire to instill his tactical identity while fostering both team and personal growth. “I’m prepared to do everything to put Wolves where it belongs in the Premier League,” he said. Peixoto also highlighted the importance of aligning the team’s style with the ethos of Wolverhampton’s passionate and hardworking fanbase, aiming to implement an offensive style of play that resonates with the city’s spirit.

Wolves’ executive chairman Nathan Shi welcomed the appointment, noting confidence that Peixoto would align well with the club’s culture and long-term vision. The club will look to Peixoto’s leadership to navigate the challenges of the Championship and secure promotion back to the Premier League, where Wolves have spent much of the past decade.

Peixoto’s appointment marks the start of a new chapter as the club seeks to rebuild and reestablish itself among the country’s elite football teams.
