Will Wolverhampton striker Hwang Hee-chan have a chance to turn around. Wolverhampton is considering replacing the manager.
The British Football Transfer reported on the 1st (Korea time) that Wolverhampton held talks with Daniele de Rossi as the new coach.
Football Transfer discussed recruiting De Rossi as its next manager. Wolverhampton are considering the removal of head coach Viktor Pereira and are in negotiations to replace him with De Rossi. De Rossi has been unemployed since leaving Rome in September last year. De Rossi said he had already held talks with Wolverhampton in December last year.

Wolverhampton entered the season with expectations under Gary O'Neill this season, but is having a difficult time. Along with poor performance, O'Neill left the team after being replaced during the season, and Pereira took the helm and was newly appointed, but the rebound is not easy. Wolverhampton, currently 17th (26 points), has a gap with the relegation zone, but they cannot be relieved. Wolverhampton, who wants a rebound in his performance, began looking for a replacement for Pereira in hopes of a change of manager even if he escaped relegation.
It was De Rossi who received the nomination. De Rossi replaced Jose Mourinho as the head coach of his former team AS Roma in the 2023-2024 season. De Rossi, who led the team's rebound with an upturn after taking office in Rome, immediately signed an extension contract. But De Rossi and Rome's companionship did not last long. Rome invested 90 million euros (about 130 billion won) in transfer fees for Des Rossi, but Rome's early performance in the 2024-2025 season was too sluggish. When he showed frustration with three draws and one loss in his first four league games, he was immediately replaced.

If De Rossi is newly appointed, a reversal and crisis could come to the players included in the squad at the same time. It could be an opportunity for Hwang Hee-chan, who has been pushed out of the main competition under current coach Pereira. Unlike last season's fierce scoring ability and great interest, this season has been struggling with poor performances and injuries at Wolverhampton. In particular, it is difficult to change the atmosphere because it rarely gets time to play after returning from injury.
In some British media, Hwang Hee-chan has been reduced to an unused bench player along with Hwang Hee-chan's slump. Now his future at Wolverhampton has been questioned. Marseille's €21m offer for Hwang Hee-chan was rejected last summer. Hwang Hee-chan will regret not having transferred when he had the opportunity, he once claimed. In this situation, if De Rossi is newly appointed, Hwang Hee-chan can also enter the main competition again and aim for a turnaround.
With Wolverhampton's slump, a wind of change is foreshadowed. It is expected that a new coach who will lead the performance of 'Korean guy' will visit Wolverhampton again this season.
