Wolves Show Appreciation To Manager O'Neil With New Four-Year Contract
Gary O'Neil has signed an improved contract at Wolverhampton Wanderers until the summer of 2028.
O'Neil was brought in as a late replacement for Julen Lopetegui, who quit his role as Wolves manager just days before the start of the 2023/2024 season.
O'Neil impressed in his first season at Molineux as Wolves threatened to finish in the European places for large spells of the campaign before an eventual 14th place finish.
With barely a week to the start of the 2024/2025 season, Wolves have shown their appreciation to the 40-year-old.
"I’m absolutely loving my time here," O'Neil said.
"My staff love it, my family love it, so it's felt a really special place for us over the past year and I'm looking forward to continuing the journey."
Chairman Jeff Shi added: "I think the club has a positive future, building a new cycle for growth, better results on the pitch and ambitions to realise.
"To prepare for that, we need a very good team and I think Gary is a key member of the team, maybe even the most important member, so we are very happy to have him here for the long term.
"He works very hard and is very humble. He might be the humblest manager I have ever worked with and one of the most hard-working coaches I've ever met. His strengths are around his tactics and his chemistry with the players."
Wolves are away to Arsenal in their first Premier League game of the season next weekend.
