Highly regarded young coach Gary O'Neil was appointed as Wolves head coach ahead of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign - the club's sixth successive season in the top flight.

O'Neil moved to Molineux on the back of a successful 2022/23 season in charge of AFC Bournemouth, where he gained plaudits for improving performances and maintaining the club’s Premier League status.

At 40 years of age, O’Neil became Wolves’ youngest manager of this Millennium and was the first permanent British coach to lead the club in six years, bringing plenty of experience to the club after playing and managing at the highest level in England.

Having made more than 200 Premier League appearances as a midfielder for the likes of Portsmouth and West Ham United, O’Neil first stepped into coaching with Liverpool’s under-23s in 2020, before joining the staff at Bournemouth in 2021.

After playing his part in the club’s promotion under Scott Parker, O’Neil stepped into the managerial hot-seat four games into the new campaign, following a 9-0 defeat at Liverpool.

Bringing with him new ideas and uniting the squad, he got the Cherries’ season back on track before being handed the job on a permanent basis in November 2022.

His positive start continued at the Vitality Stadium throughout the remainder of the campaign, with the Cherries comfortably avoiding relegation, beating Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur along the way.

O’Neil left Bournemouth at the end of that season and took up the head coach role at Wolves, where he inherited an exciting group of players for the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, which began at Old Trafford against Manchester United.
