"The Telegraph" reported that Gary O'Neal has withdrawn from the Wolves coaching ranks, mainly due to the opposition of fans.
The Wolves have encountered setbacks in their search for a new coach, and Gary O'Neal has withdrawn from the competition. Despite positive talks with Wolves over a return to coaching, O'Neill has informed the club that he no longer wishes to be a candidate. The Telegraph understands Wolves have even reached an agreement with O'Neill, but the club have made it clear they are exploring other options. The backlash from Wolves fans is believed to have been a factor in O'Neill's decision. O'Neal was fired by the Wolves in December last year due to poor record, and many fans fiercely opposed his second appointment.
The "Daily Telegraph" learned that since the settlement period of the contract lasts for one year, O'Neal is still receiving salary from the Wolves. Wolves have always emphasized that they have alternatives besides O'Neill, and Middlesbrough coach Rob Edwards is also on the focus list.
After being recommended by intermediaries, the names of former Manchester United coaches Ten Hag and Solskjaer have been mentioned, but they are not currently seriously considered as candidates. Rodgers and Postkoglu, who have just left Celtic and Nottingham Forest, are unemployed, but they are also not considered by the Wolves.
The Wolves will focus on finalizing the candidate list in the next few days and prepare to find suitable candidates calmly.
