Portuguese boss Vitor Pereira has hinted he is ready to return to football as he is linked with a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Wolves are on the hunt for their next manager after Nuno Espirito Santo announced he would be leaving last week.
Predictably a whole host of Portuguese managers have been linked with the position, an inevitability given the Portuguese influence at the club, particularly super-agent Jorge Mendes.
One of the names linked with the job is Pereira, who has been named among the leading candidates alongside Bruno Lage in England.
He’s currently without a job after leaving Shanghai Port in December last year, and it is not the first time he has been linked with Wolves either, with him in the running to replace Walter Zenga back in 2016.
After five months out of work, he’s now admitted he is open to a new club but wants a project that gives him ‘butterflies’.
“Football is a terrible drug. It is in my veins, and it is what allows me to express my creativity,” he told O Jogo.
“I came back from China extremely tired, a lot because I was always closed. Now I am enjoying my personal life, and training will come later.
“I don’t want to make the decision mistakes I made in the past of wanting everything in a hurry; the blood starts to boil in my veins here and I start to feel that anxiety of going to training.
“Now, with more maturity, I’ll be patient and it’s time for a project that makes me feel the butterflies in my stomach again.
“I want to go to a league that is at the level of what I think I deserve.”
Surely Wolves and the Premier League would provide that.
