Wolverhampton Wanderers have made the decision to sack head coach Rob Edwards following the club's relegation from the Premier League. This news comes as a surprise, as it was understood that Edwards and his coaching staff had no prior indication of their impending dismissal until late Wednesday night.

Edwards, who took charge at Molineux in November, replaced Vitor Pereira but struggled to turn the team's fortunes around. During his tenure, he managed to secure only five victories out of 30 matches, resulting in 16 losses and ultimately finishing at the bottom of the Premier League.

Key points regarding the situation include:

• Rob Edwards's record: 5 wins, 16 losses in 30 matches.
• The team’s relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.
• Edwards had been preparing for the next season by signing Kieran Trippier from Newcastle United and bringing back Raul Jimenez from Fulham, both on free transfers.

In light of this development, Cesar Peixoto, the former coach of Gil Vicente, who led his team to a sixth-place finish in Portugal's Primeira Liga, has been appointed as Edwards' replacement. The club now aims to rebuild and refocus as they head into the Championship season.
