Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering the future of manager Hulen Lopetegui.
Hwang Hee-chan wore a Wolverhampton uniform during the transfer market in the summer of 2021. After an outstanding performance in Salzburg, he moved to Leipzig in 2020, but he could not adapt to the German stage and pushed for a transfer after a year. Wolverhampton approached him, and Hwang Hee-chan challenged the English Premier League (EPL) through a ‘one-year lease’.메이저사이트
This choice was successful. Hwang Hee-chan led Wolverhampton’s attack by running a scorer at the beginning of the season. He was loved by many fans for his versatility in being able to play both center forward and left and right wingers, as well as actively participating in pressure through his vigorous activity in the front. Although his game performance declined somewhat in the second half, he succeeded in transferring completely by posting 5 goals and 1 assist in 30 league games.
Director Bruno Raz played a big role in Hwang Hee-chan’s second heyday. Director Raj, who took the baton of Wolverhampton from July 2021, highly evaluated Hwang Hee-chan’s ability and played a pivotal role in recruiting him. Also, even when Hwang Hee-chan was sluggish at the beginning of the 2022-23 season, “In the past two months, there have been many stories surrounding Hwang Hee-chan. Now I understand why Hwang Hee-chan wanted to score so much. Words towards him did not help at all . I’m really happy that the transfer market is over.”
However, the companionship between Raj and Hwang Hee-chan did not last long. This is because in October 2022, coach Raj was sacked due to poor grades. Hwang Hee-chan, who spent a month as acting coach Steve Davis, accepted Lopetegui as his third teacher. Domestic fans expected synergy between coach Lopetegui and Hwang Hee-chan, as he had a great career, leading the Spanish national football team, Real Madrid, and Sevilla.
Hwang Hee-chan maintained a good relationship with Lopetegi. “Lopetegui is really smart. Everyone knows he coached Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. You can learn so much from him. He goes into details. The result against Manchester United wasn’t good, but we can do better.” “It can get better. After the win against Everton, Lopetegui told us that we can grow further. He instills confidence in us. Our players believe in him.” Director Lope Tegui also showed his trust by using Hwang Hee-chan moderately.
But less than a year later, word circulated that Lopetegui would be leaving. It was because of Wolverhampton’s move in the transfer market this summer. Wolves have let go of Rubin Neves, Nathan Collins, Connor Cody, Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez and Diego Costa this summer. However, the recruitment was passive, and Lopetegui was dissatisfied. The British media ‘Mirror’ reported that “Wolverhampton is looking for a replacement for coach Lopetegi. He has recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the club, and Wolverhampton is also aware of this situation.”
