Wolves Appoint Rob Edwards on Three-and-a-Half-Year Deal to Lead Relegation Fight

He departs second-placed Middlesbrough after the clubs reached a compensation agreement.

Overview

  • The 42-year-old former defender returns for a fourth spell at Molineux, with a contract running to 2029.
  • Assistant head coach Harry Watling joins from Middlesbrough, with further backroom hires expected soon.
  • Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League with two points from 11 games and are eight points from safety after sacking Vítor Pereira.
  • Middlesbrough initially rejected Wolves’ approach, stood Edwards down for Saturday’s win, then granted permission for talks.
  • Compensation to Boro is reported at about £3 million, and Edwards’ first match is at home to Crystal Palace on November 22.
