The alleged decision would come as a major surprise to supporters, with Peixoto only appointed in June 2026 on a two-year contract after arriving from Portuguese side Gil Vicente. Wolves had entrusted him with the difficult task of guiding the club back to the Premier League following relegation.
However, there is currently no reliable confirmation that Peixoto has actually been sacked. In fact, recent official Wolves updates continue to feature him as the club’s head coach. Following the team’s 2–0 Carabao Cup victory over Sheffield Wednesday on August 25, Peixoto spoke about the performance and praised his players for maintaining their organisation and securing a clean sheet.
The Portuguese coach also recently led Wolves to an impressive 3–1 away victory against Preston North End, with Fer López scoring twice and Adam Armstrong adding another goal.
Therefore, any claim that Peixoto has been “sacked indefinitely” should currently be treated as unconfirmed or fictional unless Wolverhampton Wanderers issue an official announcement.
