[골닷컴] Reporter Dong-Hoon Kang = Five managers have been condensed as the new head coach of the Wolverhampton Wanderers, a professional football team from England. Among domestic football fans, there is a lot of interest to see if there will be a change in the position of the striker of the Korean national football team, Hwang Hee-chan (26).
Earlier, on the 3rd (Korean time), the Wolverhampton Wanderers announced on the club’s official website that they had broken up with manager Bruno Raj (46, Portugal). The reason for this season is that they have been in a long slump, with just one win (3 draws and 4 losses) since the start of the Premier League.
Chairman Jeff Xi (42, China) said, “Manager Raj is a great leader. He is hard-working, warm and wise. To be honest, there is no doubt about his abilities. “I had no choose but make a decision. I’m sorry,” he said.
With only two months left in the season, he had to find a new manager, and the locals were anticipating the next manager. “The Wolverhampton Wanderers have started looking for a new manager to get them out of the relegation zone as soon as possible,” British media ‘The Mirror’ announced five nominations.
The most likely candidate was Ruben Amorim (37, Portugal), who currently leads Sport (Portugal). Known as the master of the next generation, he won the Portuguese Primeira Liga for Sport for the first time in 19 years in the 2020/21 season which led to the victory. He is famous for running mainly attacking games using the 3-4-3 formation.
Coincidentally, the Wolverhampton Wanderers played a friendly against Sporting during the pre-season summer pre-season. At that time, coach Amorim and coach Raj played a game while expressing their welcome with a warm hug before the game. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Manager Julen Lopetegui (56, Spain), who holds the baton of Sevilla (Spain), is also in the candidate group. Recently, there is a possibility of parting with Seville due to poor performance, and it is seen that the possibility is high because he is a customer of Jorge Mendes (56, Portugal), who has a type of agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers. In addition, coach Paulo Fonseca (49, Portugal), Enge Postecoglu (57, Greece), and Sean Daichi (51, England) were nominated.
On the other hand, if the director changes, there is a possibility that Hwang Hee-chan’s situation will also change. He has not had many appearances this season and has been pushed out of the starting line-up. He played seven games across all competitions, averaging just 35.4 minutes per game. A new manager has yet to be decided, but depending on his tactical style, there is a good chance he will regain his starting position again.
