WOLVES boss Vitor Pereira has a new tradition of joining fans in the pub after winning games.
The Portuguese was appointed in December and he has brought a winning feeling back to Molineux.
Wolves’ 4-2 victory over Tottenham on Sunday was their fourth in a row – their longest top-flight winning streak in 53 years.
Pereira, 56, celebrated by joining fans in a local pub where patrons sang his name and posed for photos.
The Wolves manager embraced fans and reportedly said: “First points, then pints.”
Pereira is now a frequent visitor to the local Wetherspoons, sparking a tradition of visiting The Moon Under Water after picking up three points at home.

After beating Southampton at Molineux, he said of his connection with the fans: “Since the first game, we have this chemistry.
“I think I am one of them. I am the guy to finish the game and go to the pub to drink two or three pints with them.
“To stay home alone, I don’t like. What is the problem? Nothing.
“For me it is very normal, we don’t have a lot of restaurants here, at the pub I can eat a pie with a pint.”
