Why It Matters
Wolverhampton Wanderers sacked Rob Edwards after failing to secure Premier League safety, leading to their relegation after an eight-year spell. Edwards was hired in November and took over a team at the bottom of the league.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked Rob Edwards, the former Middlesbrough head coach they hired last November, after he was unable to guide the struggling Midlands club to Premier League safety.
Edwards signed a three-and-a-half year deal when he was appointed and took over Wolves following the sacking of Vítor Pereira, now the Nottingham Forest head coach. Edwards took over with the club bottom of the Premier League with two points from 11 matches and was unable to improve their position. Wolves were relegated in April after an eight-year spell in the top tier.
It is understood the Gil Vicente manager, César Peixoto, has been targeted as his replacement.
Edwards’s sacking comes after the Molineux club had begun preparing for life in the Championship by signing Kieran Trippier and Raúl Jiménez, the latter for his second spell at the club.
