Hwang Hee-chan (28, Wolverhampton) will be joined by “new coach” Vitor Pereira from Portugal. Will he be taken as an important coach.
Wolverhampton announced its 18-month contract on the club’s official website on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), saying, “I will be with coach Pereira until the end of the 2025-2026 season.”
“Since taking the helm in 2004, Pereira has led 13 teams in various leagues including Portugal, Turkiye, Greece, Brazil, China and Saudi Arabia, gaining abundant experience,” the club said. “In particular, he has won league titles in Portugal, Greece and China.”
Wolverhampton remains in 19th place, which is in the relegation zone, with two wins, three draws and 11 losses (9 points) in the EPL this season. Wolverhampton, who replaced Gary O’Neill on the 15th, recruited Pereira, who was in charge of Saudi Arabia’s al-Shabab, just five days later.
According to the BBC, Wolverhampton’s penalty for al-Shabab is reported to be about 825,000 pounds (about 1.5 billion won).
In the past, Pereira experienced two consecutive Portuguese Primera Liga wins during his time in Porto (2011-2012, 2012-2013 season), and has since reached the top of Greece (2014-2015 season) and the Chinese league (2018).
With this appointment, Ferreira will continue to connect with Korean players. He coached Kim Min-jae (currently Bayern Munich) at the Fenerbahce in Turkiye in 2021, and Kim Seung-gyu at the Al-Shabab this year. He will now lead Wolverhampton and be with Hwang Hee-chan.
Pereira has already completed his first training session with the Wolverhampton squad. 토토사이트
His Premier League debut will be an away game against Leicester City at 11 p.m. on the 22nd.
“He is the type of player that is highly likely to be preferred by Pereira,” said Molinho News, which reported on Wolverhampton on Tuesday. “Coach Lee values strong pressure tactics. Hwang has been highly praised for his activities and contributions in defense. In addition, he has the ability to score points, which gives positive impact to his team.”
