Overview
- Wolverhampton Wanderers announced on Monday that Cesar Peixoto has been hired on a two‑year contract to replace Rob Edwards.
- Edwards was dismissed last week after Wolves finished bottom of the Premier League with 20 points and three wins, triggering a rapid sporting review.
- Peixoto joins from Gil Vicente after leading them to sixth in Portugal’s Primeira Liga in 2025–26 and this will be his first job outside Portugal.
- The contract is confirmed by the club but remains conditional on work‑permit clearance, a step that must be completed before he can formally take charge.
- The club says Peixoto will install an attacking, organised identity as part of a Championship rebuild that may require further recruitment and could affect staff continuity and costs.
