Jørgen Strand Larsen Reflects on Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Decision to Part Ways with Vítor Pereira
A difficult chapter ends
Wolverhampton Wanderers confirmed the departure of manager Vítor Pereira following a 3-0 defeat to Fulham, the final straw after a string of poor results. Striker Jørgen Strand Larsen has now spoken out, offering his honest reflections on the decision and the transition ahead.
Gratitude amidst uncertainty
Despite the disappointment of the season so far, Strand Larsen didn’t shy away from acknowledging Pereira’s positive influence. He said:
“I have a lot to thank Vítor for. He had confidence in me last year, and was important to me when I found my form. And he was important when the team found its form over the winter.” Molineux News
At the same time, the 25-year-old recognised that the current situation demanded change:
“That’s how football is. It hasn’t worked, and maybe this is what we need.” Molineux News
