The former coach of Fenerbahçe, Vitor Pereira, who took over the English Premier League team Wolverhampton, made evaluations before their match against Manchester United on Thursday, December 26, in the 18th week of the league. Pereira also made a striking confession about his career. "I MADE WRONG STEPS IN MY CAREER"Pereira stated that he made wrong steps in his career and could have entered this league much earlier. He also praised his compatriot Ruben Amorim. Pereira said, "We have never played against each other. I am older than him. I came here after a very long time because I may have taken wrong steps in my career; I could have come much earlier. Amorim is a very talented coach in terms of strategy, tactics, and communication with players. I believe he will do very well in his Premier League career." AMORIM: I KNOW PEREIRA IS A GOOD COACHRuben Amorim stated that Pereira is a good coach, saying, "Vitor Pereira worked in Portugal and did a good job at Porto. I know he is a good coach, and he knows we are in a difficult situation right now. But we will be ready for the match." DID HE MEAN FENERBAHÇE?On the other hand, Vitor Pereira's words, "I may have taken wrong steps in my career; I could have come much earlier," sparked discussions. Some interpreted Pereira's statement as a reference to Fenerbahçe. PEREIRA'S FENERBAHÇE RECORDThe Portuguese coach, who managed Fenerbahçe in two different periods, led the yellow-navy team in a total of 86 matches. In these matches, he achieved 48 victories, 22 draws, and 16 losses. Pereira's Fenerbahçe shook the opponent's nets 146 times while conceding 94 goals. With these results, Vitor Pereira achieved an average of 1.83 points. HE WON WITH A DIFFERENT VICTORY IN HIS FIRST MATCHLast week, Vitor Pereira was appointed to replace English coach Gary O'Neil, and in his first match, Wolverhampton defeated Leicester City with a score of 3-0. The Wolves, who have been going through tough times in the league, breathed a sigh of relief with this victory, currently sitting in 18th place with 12 points collected over 17 weeks, in the relegation zone.
