Wolves could be eyeing up Corinthians manager Vitor Pereira as their new incoming boss at Molineux, according to a new rumour that has emerged.

The Lowdown: Manager search ongoing

Bruno Lage was sacked by Wanderers earlier this month, following a below-par start to the Premier League season, in a big change at the club.

Wolves have been patient when it comes to nailing the Portuguese's replacement, however, with his successor not yet confirmed over three weeks later.

Now, a fresh report is doing the rounds, however, as the club look to find the ideal replacement for Lage.

The Latest: Pereira rumour emerges

According to Sport Witness, Band host Neto has confirmed that Pereira may end up at Wolves, saying the Old Gold could snap him up.

The 54-year-old reportedly won't be staying at Corinthians for another season and his current deal runs out at the end of this year.

The Verdict: Left-field target

This is a rumour that seems to have come from nowhere, with Pereira not someone who has necessarily been identified as a primary managerial target.

The Portuguese could be an intriguing option, however, having won the Primeira Liga with Porto twice - not to mention a Greek Super League title with Olympiakos and a Chinese Super League title with Shanghai SIPG.

Pereira would bring with him a proven winning mentality in Europe and he has been renowned for his attacking style - something that would be a refreshing change from Lage, and Nuno Espirito Santo before him.
