Pereira spoke to the media on Friday ahead of his weekend debut against Leicester City.
"Three times with the same club," he said, after leaving Saudi club Al-Shabab.
"Everton 14 years ago before I went to Brazil, then I had another three or four meetings (in 2013). Two or three years ago, I had two or three meetings - it means it was a lot of meetings with Everton!
"The last 14 years of my career, my focus was to come to England. To compete with the best coaches, this is the seat I want to be in. I want to be in this league to compete, challenge myself and I'm ready.
"I remember the first step outside the country (Portugal) was to Saudi Arabia (Al-Ahli) 14 years ago. When I left Porto, my target was a club in England."
Pereira said he never gave up hope of making it to the Premier League.
"No, I'm a confident guy, I believe in my work and my staff," he said. "From a young age one day I decided in my mind I'd be a coach. Afterwards, I put in my mind I would be a champion in Portugal and I was (with Porto).
"Then I wanted to be a champion in another country and the team (Olympiakos) was a champion. One day my target was England. It means when you think a lot, even if you must work, and work, and work and you must go to Brazil, to Turkey and Arabia in the end you will be there."
On Wolves, he said: "The club is open to doing it but in this moment it's important to understand the players on the pitch.
"It's important I have one week to understand what I can do with the players, to study their personality and what we need. After this we'll decide.
"It's a responsibility but a good one. In my opinion it's to give confidence to them, to guide them, like a tactical GPS, to point them in the same direction.
"It's very important to connect the tactical quality, technical quality because I like my teams to play good football but with tactical organisation and courage to play our game."
