Wolves Appoint Rob Edwards as Head Coach on Three-and-a-Half-Year Deal

The former Wolves defender leaves second-place Middlesbrough for a rescue job with a winless side eight points from safety.

Overview

  • Edwards, 42, returns for a fourth spell at Molineux on a contract running to 2029 after Vítor Pereira’s dismissal earlier this month.
  • Harry Watling joins as assistant head coach from Middlesbrough, with additional staff to be confirmed.
  • Middlesbrough initially rejected Wolves’ approach before agreeing a reported £3m compensation and standing Edwards down from match duties.
  • Wolves are bottom with two points from 11 league matches; Edwards’ first game is at home to Crystal Palace on November 22.
  • Executive chairman Jeff Shi says the appointment is designed to “refresh the whole club,” reflecting a long-term reset alongside the immediate need for improvement.
