Where did Wolves finish last season?

Finishing in a solid 14th last campaign, it was very the season that Wolves would have expected prior to the first matchweek. After a poor start, winning one of their first six fixtures, Wolves then beat the juggernaut that is Manchester City 2-1 to really kick start their season.

They carried an upturn in form all the way to the last two months of the season, at which point they sat ninth with a realistic chance to challenge for European football. However, one win in their final ten games saw them end the season as poorly as they started it, and any European dream was quickly snuffed out.

While they were never threatened with potential relegation, they never really propelled themselves away from it, and they will be looking for a much better opening few weeks at the start of the new season to provide a springboard into the top 10.

Best result: Wolves 2-1 Manchester City. (Wolves: Dias O.G 13’, Hwang 66’. City: Alvarez 58’).

Worst result: Manchester City 5-1 Wolves. (Haaland 12’, 35’, 45+3’, 54’, Alvarez 85’. Wolves: Hwang 53’).

Who is Wolves’ manager for 2024/25?

Official, confirmed. Gary O’Neil has been appointed as Wolves manager to replace Lopetegui 🟠🐺 #WWFC pic.twitter.com/FiWN15T8Tz

Gary O’Neil will be fairly content with his first season in charge of Wolves. It was nothing special, and they didn’t set the world alight, but wins over Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham showed glimpses of his potential as a top class coach.

Arriving at Wolves after guiding Bournemouth to safety in the first season after promotion in 2022/23, O’Neil had brought a new exciting brand of football to the vitality that raised his stock considerably. Wolves eventually secured his signature after Bournemouth announced that they would be replacing O’Neil with Andoni Iraola.

Able to bring the best out of forwards Matheus Cunha and Pedro Neto, while breathing new life into center back Craig Dawson, O’Neil did the best with what he had last season, and if he signs the players he wants this summer, Wolves may be able to jump a couple of mid-table competitors come the end of the season.

Who is Wolves’ key player for 2024/25? Pedro Neto

After a couple of back-to-back injury hit seasons prior to 2023/24, Pedro Neto appeared to be back to his blistering best last term. Using his electric pace to bypass opposing full backs, his signature move is a pinpoint accurate from the byline to a waiting forward in the middle.

This move brought him great success last season, as he accumulated nine Premier League assists, adding two goals on top of that tally.

His return to form saw him called up for the Portugal national team for Euro 2024, but in a lackluster side, he along with many others failed to impress as Portugal exited the competition in the quarter finals at the hands of France.

Despite international disappointment, Neto returns to the Premier close to the peak of his powers once again, and with exciting young Portuguese right back Rodrigo Gomes arriving at Wolves, he has a chance to build some chemistry with his fellow countryman, forging a relationship which could terrorize the left side of any sides defense.

Keep an eye on how the Portuguese duo gel early in the season.

Season Prediction

Wolves look to have already made some well-informed decisions in the transfer market this summer, picking up a couple of notable young names to bring speed, urgency and youthful exuberance to the Wolves first team.

With a classy front three of Neto, Cunha and Hee-Chan Hwang, Wolves certainly have the potency up front to cause issues for rivals and bigger clubs, but inconsistent from week to week, they need to find a game plan that works whether they’re playing well or not.

I expect to see them improve this season, their side too strong to struggle. However, they have got a Max Kilman sized hole in the middle of their defense that needs addressing if significant improvement is to be seen.

Prediction: 12th.
