The versatile midfielder has captained both his club and country at times this season, most recently on Saturday, as he led Reims out against Nantes for his 21st appearance of this campaign before his move to Molineux.
Speaking to his new club's official website, the 28-year-old reflected on his time in France
"The first time I got there, I didn't think I would stay for that long, but considering what I went through with the club, I really enjoyed my time there, and I think now it's probably the best time, because I've gained so much experience.
"Being in the French league is also very tough, probably not as much as the Premier League, but I think it's also quite competitive with the clubs that we have. So, I think those games will come in handy once I make this move."
Munetsi spoke about the leadership that he will be bring to the side currently in 17th position on the league table, hovering two points above the relegation zone.
"I think in as much as we play football, we learn a lot. Being a leader is something that is not easy, but you also have to nurture yourself.
"You have to learn how to help others, how to guide, how to lead by example, on the pitch and off the pitch.
"So, I think it's something that I'll also be able to bring to Wolves, considering what I've also produced here at Reims. I think it's some of the qualities that I do produce on the pitch, and off the pitch."
Munetsi also opened up about the move to Wolves.
"I'm delighted. It's a dream come true for me. I've always wanted to be part of something big, and being part of Wolves is something that is very big for me, and is big for my family," he said.
"It's a team that I've also seen from afar, and the Premier League is the best place to be, so I'm delighted to join the family, to join the team."
"I'm very excited. It's probably going to be the first time I've had a big opportunity to be representing a bigger club," he added.
"Nothing against Reims, but now you're going to be playing in the Premier League, playing for Wolves. Also, we have a greater population in England for Zimbabwean, I think I will feel even more at home than what I was doing in France."
