The 46-year-old Portuguese coach arrives from Gil Vicente, where he guided the club to a sixth-place finish in Portugal's top flight last season. He replaces Rob Edwards, who was dismissed by Wolves following their relegation from the Premier League.

"I am proud to be here, at this great historic club in England. This is a huge opportunity for me, and I am ready to do everything to get Wolves back to where they belong – in the Premier League," Peixoto stated, according to AFP.

Wolverhampton finished last season at the bottom of the Premier League, securing only three victories in 38 matches. They will compete in the Championship, England's second-tier league, for the first time since 2018.
