O’Neil was dismissed by the Cherries in June but was handed a three-year deal by their Premier League rivals Wolves in August.
Gary O’Neil revealed he expected to still be job hunting at this point in the season after being sacked by Bournemouth in the summer, and is determined to repay Wolves for the faith they showed in him.
He said: “I didn’t really think about the level that I would be going in at , I just knew I was ready to go back in and I expected it to be winter. I expected managers to start the season, some of them struggle, some of them do well, and then there would be an opportunity around now or the next few weeks.
O’Neil was appointed interim Bournemouth boss in August 2022 following the departure of Scott Parker, and made his Premier League managerial debut against Wolves, that goalless draw marking the beginning of a six-game unbeaten run that eventually helped earn him the permanent position. “What I set myself was to leave in a better place than I found it. I left with my head held high and I started my managerial career, and that’s all it is. There’s never any more than that.”
