Victor Pereira, who leads Wolverhampton, where Hwang Hee-chan belongs, is likely to renew his contract. However, it is unclear whether it will be positive news.
Liam Keane, a reporter from Express & Star who is familiar with Wolverhampton's news, said on the 17th (Korea time) 'Coach Pereira is negotiating with Wolverhampton over the terms of the contract. We are close to reaching an agreement, and are expected to sign a new contract soon,' it reported.
Keane signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Wolverhampton in December last year, and his contract expires after this season. However, despite his poor performance this season, Wolverhampton offered a longer contract along with a salary increase based on trust in the manager. The contract is now close to an agreement,' it said.
Global sports media The Athletic will also sign a new three-year contract with Wolverhampton called Pereira. "We've lost all four games since the opening of this season, making it the worst start in history."

It's an unconventional contract renewal. Pereira, who took the helm of Wolverhampton last year, received high expectations at the time, but her performance was disappointing. Wolverhampton finished the season in 16th place despite taking over as Pereira. The situation is worse this season. It has lost four games since the opening of the league. It fell to the bottom with zero points. The situation of offense and defense with two goals and nine runs is also disastrous. However, Wolverhampton wants to keep Pereira in this situation.
However, it is unclear whether such a renewal will be positive for Hwang Hee-chan, the Korean Premier Leaguer. Hwang Hee-chan has recently started three games, but he was excluded from the team's plan last year and did not get a big opportunity. If he does not show a clear performance this season, he can be pushed out at any time. If Hwang Hee-chan continues to fall behind in power, he may also consider leaving the English Premier League (EPL) as the transfer rumor this summer. If Hwang Hee-chan leaves the EPL, there will be virtually no Korean players left who can play in the EPL.

It may be a problem even if Hwang Hee-chan remains. Wolverhampton was ranked 16th last season. However, the team was out of power this summer. Ace Matheus Cunha, Nelsong Semedu, Rayan Aitnuri and Pablo Sarabia left the team. On the other hand, about six players were brought in in recruitment, but there are insufficient players with high expectations. If Wolverhampton is relegated, even if Hwang Hee-chan remains in the team, the players who play in the EPL will disappear.
As Son Heung-min leaves the EPL this summer, great attention is being paid to the position of Korean Premier Leaguers. Yang Min-hyuk, a Tottenham member, has already left for Portsmouth, and Kim Ji-soo, a Brentford member, also left for Kaiserslauteron in Bundesliga 2 in Germany. Park Seung-soo, who joined Newcastle, is still likely to play in the second division. The last remaining hope is Hwang Hee-chan, but it is not certain whether this hope will last throughout this season. Attention is also focusing on what kind of butterfly effect Wolverhampton's renewal of the coach will bring.
