It's a new era, the past is the past - Peixoto

What the report says

Wolves head coach Cesar Peixoto has said his squad are focused on the future as the club begins a new chapter after several difficult seasons. Speaking after Wolves’ 3-0 pre-season win over Spanish side Racing Santander, the Portuguese manager said the team are not dwelling on recent struggles at Molineux and are building confidence for the campaign ahead.

Peixoto took charge after replacing Rob Edwards last month and inherited a side that finished bottom of the Premier League last season with only three wins. BBC Sport reports that the 46-year-old, who previously led Gil Vicente to sixth place in Portugal’s top flight, is making his first senior coaching move outside his home country. He has urged his players to be organised and attack-minded, and said they are beginning to understand his methods.

The article says Wolves are preparing to start their season with an EFL Cup tie against League Two side Port Vale, followed by a Championship opener against Blackburn. Peixoto also expects further transfer activity before the window closes on 1 September, though he said he is content with the current squad’s attitude and work rate. BBC Sport noted that the club have already made several changes this year, underlining the scale of the rebuild.
