Pereira outshines Amorim in battle of new Portuguese bosses

Victorious Wolves boss Vitor Pereira was anxious to play down comparisons between his immediate impact at Wolves and the tortuous bedding-in process fellow countryman Ruben Amorim is enduring at Manchester United.

"It was not Vitor v Ruben, it was Wolves v Manchester United," said Pereira after his side's 2-0 win at Molineux. "Ruben is a top coach in my opinion and with time he will show his level."

However, it is hard to ignore some basic mathematical realities.

In two matches since replacing Gary O'Neil at Wolves, Pereira has guided his new club to two victories.
