According to O’Neil’s final news conference, there are two major areas in which Wolves are struggling that anyone taking over the hot seat needs to be aware of.
The 41-year-old claimed Wanderers are seriously lacking a central defender who possesses both physicality and speed.O’Neil thinks that Maximilian Kilman’s absence has been extremely expensive, and that Yerson Mosquera’s chronic knee ailment has made matters worse.
Following Saturday’s devastating 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town, O’Neil remarked, “We’re not blessed with loads of defenders, and we’re definitely not blessed with lots of physicality in defense.”
“Yerson was excellent pace-wise, aerially. Max Kilman was excellent physically, pace-wise and aerially. We don’t have one of those now that are good at both of those.
We signed Santi Bueno as a center-back because he can handle the level. He should be able to handle the tasks that were assigned to him, in my opinion. Indeed, Toti Gomes is comparable; he has put in a lot of effort to reach this point, but there is only so much you can do to shield them from these situations,” he said.
Speaking to the media for the last time after being relieved of his responsibilities after Wolves had only managed nine points from the first 16 games, O’Neil’s remarks proved to be some of his last as manager.
The Old Gold and Al Shabab manager Vitor Pereira are in advanced negotiations, and it appears that Pereira will become the new head coach. Since the new manager has won four league titles during stints in Portugal, Greece, and China, he definitely doesn’t need advice, but O’Neil raises valid points regarding the defense’s current situation.
