Wolves have sacked Gary O’Neil.

O’Neil has been dismissed after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Ipswich at Molineux left Wolves down in 19th in the Premier League and four points from safety.

O’Neil guided Wolves to 14th in the Premier League last season but they have just nine points from their 16 games this season and only Southampton are below them.
