English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers, recently relegated to the Championship, has appointed Cesar Peixoto as their new head coach. The club announced the move on Monday, confirming Peixoto has signed a two-year deal. Peixoto takes the helm after a challenging 2025-2026 season that saw Wolves finish at the bottom of the Premier League table, leading to the dismissal of former manager Rob Edwards. The club is now looking to Peixoto, who guided Gil Vicente to a sixth-place finish in Portugal's Primeira Liga last season, to orchestrate a return to England's top flight. This appointment marks Peixoto's first foray into managing a team outside of Portugal, where he began his coaching career in 2019. Meanwhile, the future of key forward Hwang Hee-chan remains a topic of discussion. Hwang is currently representing South Korea in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, and his club status beyond this international commitment is yet to be clarified.
