Vitor Pereira Shares Where He Realistically Thinks Wolves Should Aim to Finish in the Premier League in 2025/26… Then Hints at a ‘Promise’ He Made to a Top Six Manager That Could Change Everything
Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Vitor Pereira has opened up about his ambitions for the club heading into the 2025/26 Premier League season — and it’s got fans talking. In a candid sit-down interview with club media, the Portuguese manager shared his realistic expectations for the campaign and dropped a cryptic comment that has sparked speculation across the football world.
Pereira, who took charge of Wolves earlier this summer, emphasized the importance of steady growth over sensationalism. “I believe this club has all the tools to push forward,” he said. “But we have to be honest with ourselves. Our realistic goal for this season is to be in the top half of the table — between 8th and 10th. That’s where we can build from.”
While some supporters may have hoped for a more ambitious target, Pereira insisted that sustainable progress is the key to long-term success. “We’re not here to chase headlines. We’re here to build a team that competes with purpose, not just dreams.”
But just when things seemed grounded, Pereira added a surprising twist.
With a wry smile, he hinted at a private conversation that could change the narrative around Wolves’ season. “Let’s just say,” he teased, “I made a promise to someone in the top six… and if we deliver on it, it could open doors no one expects.”
Naturally, he declined to elaborate further — but the cryptic remark has already ignited fan theories. Was it a handshake deal for a future signing? A challenge issued to a rival manager? Or perhaps a clue to a secret pact involving a future role?
Whatever the case, Pereira’s message is clear: Wolves are aiming high, even if the ambitions are quietly calculated — for now. But with a mysterious “promise” lingering in the background, the 2025/26 season may turn out to be more dramatic than anyone imagined.
