Wolverhampton Wanderers have made the decision to sack Rob Edwards, the former Middlesbrough head coach, after his inability to secure Premier League safety for the struggling Midlands club. Edwards, who had signed a three-and-a-half year deal last November, took the reins following the dismissal of Vítor Pereira, now the head coach at Nottingham Forest.

Upon his appointment, Edwards faced a daunting task, inheriting a team that was bottom of the Premier League with just two points from 11 matches. Unfortunately, he could not turn the tide, and Wolves were relegated in April after an eight-year run in the top tier.

In light of this, the club has reportedly set their sights on César Peixoto, the current manager of Gil Vicente, as a potential replacement for Edwards.

This sacking comes as Wolves begin to prepare for life in the Championship, having already signed Kieran Trippier and Raúl Jiménez, the latter returning for his second spell with the club.
