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

Middlesbrough agreed to release him for a reported £3m as Wolves pursue a club-wide reset under a familiar face.

Overview

  • Edwards returns for a fourth spell at Molineux after leaving a Middlesbrough side sitting near the top of the Championship.
  • He inherits a team bottom of the Premier League with two points from 11 games, eight adrift of safety after a winless start.
  • Middlesbrough initially rejected Wolves’ approach before granting permission, standing Edwards down for Saturday’s win over Birmingham.
  • Compensation is widely reported to be around £3m to secure his move from the Riverside.
  • Assistant Harry Watling joins from Boro, with Edwards’ first match scheduled for 22 November at home to Crystal Palace after the international break.
