Gary O’Neil has been sacked by Wolverhampton Wanderers after 16 months in charge, talkSPORT understands.
The former Bournemouth manager leaves Wolves second from bottom in the Premier League table, four points from safety.

O’Neil’s axing comes less than 24 hours after he suffered a demoralising 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town at Molineux.
The Tractor Boys took the lead through an own goal from Matt Doherty but equalised in the 72nd minute via Matheus Cunha.
However, Ipswich nicked all three points thanks to Jack Taylor’s second-half stoppage-time strike.
Chaos ensued after the full-time whistle as Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri had to be carried off the pitch by teammate Craig Dawson.
Ait-Nouri was given a second yellow card after the contest, meaning he is suspended for Wolves’ trip to Leicester City next Sunday.
Goalscorer Cunha was also visibly irate and needed to be ushered down the tunnel to avoid further punishment.
Footage on social media of Cunha ripping the glasses off the face of an Ipswich Town staff member quickly circulated on social media.
