Cesar Peixoto Advances Toward Wolverhampton Move After Several Days of Talks

cesar peixoto is close to leaving Gil Vicente for Wolverhampton after several days of negotiations that have reached a fairly advanced stage. The Gil Vicente coach likes the project, and only a few details remain before the move can be completed.

Peixoto and Wolverhampton

A Bola reported that Wolverhampton is courting Peixoto, and Gil Vicente is aware of the interest. The talks are being handled by Gestifute, with Jorge Mendes in Madrid handling José Mourinho's move to Real.

Peixoto has been under contract with Gil Vicente until 2027 since 6 November 2025, so Wolverhampton would have to compensate the Portuguese club to secure his services. That contract is now the main hurdle standing between the coach and a possible switch to England.

Gil Vicente's Contract

The timing adds weight to the move. Peixoto signed on 6 November 2025, and his current deal runs to 2027, which gives Gil Vicente leverage while the negotiations continue.

He has built his coaching career across Varzim, Académica, Chaves, Moreirense, Paços de Ferreira and Gil Vicente. For Wolverhampton, the appeal is clear: the club was relegated to the Championship and wants to return to the top tier of English football next season.

Wolverhampton's Next Step

The process now sits at a late stage, with only a few details left to settle. If those final pieces fall into place, Wolverhampton will move from interest to payment, and Gil Vicente would lose a coach it tied down less than two years ago.
