César Peixoto’s journey from Portuguese football to the Wolves hot seat
César Peixoto has taken an interesting route in football so far, going from playing to transitioning to management.
The Portuguese man worked his way up through the leagues in both instances. After ending his playing career, the former Porto player moved into management in 2019, taking his first senior job at Varzim.
Since then he has managed several clubs in Portugal, learning from different challenges and building a reputation for himself.
Now at Wolves, Peixoto has reached the biggest stage of his managerial career, writes Sports News Blitz’s Will Jones.
What have we learnt from Wolves’ start to the 2026/27 EFL Championship season?
Wolves are back in the Championship for the first time in more than eight years, following a dismal campaign that ended in Premier League relegation last season.
New manager César Peixoto will be expected by many to get the Old Gold back into the top flight at the first time of asking.
The Midlands side have started the competitive season unbeaten, with three wins and a draw from their first four games.
With plenty of positives but also a few areas for concern, what can we really make of Wolves’ start to the new season? Sports News Blitz’s Will Jones takes a closer look.
