Rob Edwards Eyes Wolves Revival Ahead of Palace Debut

The former Wolves defender says he accepted the role to avoid future regret, voicing belief there is enough time to turn results.

Overview

  • Edwards faces his first match in charge on Saturday at Molineux against Crystal Palace after his unveiling this week.
  • He left promotion-chasing Middlesbrough to sign a three-and-a-half-year contract with Wolves, with Boro initially rejecting an approach before agreeing terms after 15 games of his tenure.
  • Wolves are bottom of the Premier League without a win, on two points from 11 matches and eight adrift of safety.
  • Setting his tone in training, Edwards emphasized hard work, clear non-negotiables and not fixating on the table, saying there is still enough time to avoid relegation.
  • The 42-year-old, a former Wolves player and academy coach, said returning felt right despite a difficult exit, as some Middlesbrough supporters voiced anger at his departure.
