Vitor Pereira’s explosive nature and ‘my way or the highway’ approach have not gone down well with some of his players in the past.
Pereira can be hot-headed and he says whatever he thinks he has to say to whoever needs to hear it. It is part of his personality he credits to his humble roots, but it is also a mechanism of self-defence
He has also said he does not know how to deal with “spoiled players” – “rich kids that have never suffered, and don’t know how to suffer in life”.
Several Corinthians players publicly welcomed his departure from the club after just 10 months in 2022.
“We were happy that he was leaving, I don’t need to lie,” said winger Roger Guedes.
Controlling his passionate nature will be key if he is to succeed with Wolves in his first Premier League adventure.
“Sometimes he goes overboard with the amount of time he spends worrying about things related to the team and the players,” said former right-hand man Rui Quinta.
“I’ve told him this a few times: it’s important to step away occasionally, take a breather, and come back with full energy. He’s a coach who has an extraordinary heart.”
