Gary O'Neil has withdrawn from the process to become the new Wolves head coach after holding talks with his former club.

Sky Sports News understands O'Neil held positive conversations with Wolves but felt the job was not right for him at this time.

O'Neil is one of a number of options Wolves had been exploring and they will continue their search for a replacement for Vitor Pereira, who was sacked on Sunday.

It is thought O'Neil wants to return to management once the right opportunity presents itself.

The 42-year-old spent just over 14 months in charge of Wolves before being sacked in December 2024, with Pereira appointed as his successor.
