Rob Edwards Agrees Wolves Job on Three-and-a-Half-Year Deal as Compensation Is Finalized

Wolves target a reset under a coach with promotion pedigree following a compensation deal with Middlesbrough.

Overview

  • Edwards has agreed terms to become head coach, with a formal announcement expected early this week.
  • Middlesbrough accepted compensation after initially rejecting approaches, with reports ranging from about £2m to just under £4m.
  • Boro stood him down for Saturday’s win over Birmingham and granted permission to speak to Wolves subject to final paperwork.
  • Assistant coach Harry Watling is expected to join Edwards at Molineux, while Adi Viveash remains caretaker at Middlesbrough during their search for a successor.
  • Wolves are bottom of the Premier League on two points after sacking Vítor Pereira, with academy staff overseeing the team until Edwards’ arrival.
