According to the "Football Daily", the three towns that have just sought share reform have not yet entered the stage of implementing the plan. There has been no progress in the share reform, which has also affected the plan to change the leadership of the three towns in Wuhan. Some time ago, South Korean media broke the news: South Korean coach Nam Ki-il, who coached the South Korean K-League team Jeju United last season, will replace the current coach of Wuhan Three Towns, Takahata Mian, as the team's new coach. It is understood that in order to persuade Nan Jiyi to come to China to coach, the senior management of Wuhan Three Towns Club personally replied to South Korea and submitted a coaching offer. However, in the case of the club's share reform, Nan Jiyi is likely to refuse the invitation of Wuhan Three Towns to coach.
Japanese media "Nikkan Sports" reported that after Nan Jiyi rejected Wuhan Three Towns, Wuhan Three Towns is looking for a new coach. Former Urawa Ruby coach Ricardo Rodriguez is likely to succeed Takahata next season in charge of Wuhan Three Towns. Ricardo Rodriguez began coaching Urawa Red Diamonds in 2021 and led the team to the 2021 Emperor's Cup and the AFC Champions League final in 2022. However, due to Urawa's poor record in the league in the 2022 season, Ricardo Rodriguez left the team at the end of 2022. The new owner of Wuhan Three Towns Club has not been finalized for a long time, which not only affects the team's selection of coaches, but also some of the main players in the team are also seeking to leave the team to find a new home for themselves.
According to Portuguese media outlet El Bla, Wuhan Three Towns' request to renew Aziz's lease was rejected by the Portuguese Super League club Rio Ave. It is reported that Aziz's contract with Wuhan Three Towns will expire at the end of December, and last season Aziz joined Wuhan Three Towns on a loan fee of 900,000 euros from Portugal's Rio Ave club. Last season, Aziz scored 15 league goals for Wuhan Three Towns and was the team's top scorer. Wuhan Three Towns were unable to pay for Aziz's buyout due to financial problems, but Aziz's outstanding performance last season has caught the attention of many Chinese Super League teams. According to the news revealed by Li Xuan, a well-known domestic football media person, Wuhan Three Towns foreign aid Aziz, whose loan contract expired, is likely to join a strong Chinese Super League club.
Aziz's departure confirms from one side that the three towns of Wuhan are indeed suffering from a lot of financial problems. In order to maintain the operation of the club, Wuhan Three Towns Club is likely to sell some of the high-paying international players. International-level players including Wei Shihao, Xie Pengfei, Liu Dianzuo, and Gao Zhunyi are likely to bid farewell to Wuhan Three Towns at the end of this season. Many Chinese Super League teams with championship strength will sweep the goods in the player supermarket in Wuhan Three Towns. And Wuhan Three Towns can only withdraw from the competition for the Chinese Super League championship and AFC Champions League tickets because of financial problems.
