Overview
- Wolves made an official request on Thursday to speak with Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards, which Boro rejected, according to multiple outlets including PA and Sky Sports.
- Edwards is under contract at the Riverside until 2028, and The Times reports any move would demand significant compensation.
- Gary O’Neil withdrew from contention earlier in the week, and reports say Wolves are assessing other options such as Erik ten Hag.
- Edwards has led Boro to third in the Championship since his June appointment; publicly he says his full focus is on Boro, though some outlets claim he would be open to a Wolves return.
- Academy coaches James Collins and Richard Walker are set to oversee Wolves at Chelsea, with the team winless and on two points from 10 league matches.
