César Peixoto has been appointed as the new head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers, signing a two-season contract. The 46-year-old Portuguese manager takes over from Rob Edwards with the primary objective of guiding the "Wolves" back to the Premier League following their last-place finish in the previous campaign.

Nathan Shi, the club's executive chairman, expressed confidence in Peixoto, stating that he possesses key qualities for the club's future. "We were looking for a clear identity, leadership, and a true ambition to succeed," Shi said. He further described Peixoto as "young, energetic, and ambitious, but also thoughtful, responsible, and willing to demand from himself and those around him to keep improving."

Peixoto joins Wolverhampton from Gil Vicente in Portugal, where he led the team to a sixth-place finish in the Primeira Liga during the 2025-2026 season. This move marks his first coaching experience outside of Portugal. The club believes he is a perfect fit for the culture and vision they are building.
