Overview
- Wolverhampton Wanderers announced they have sacked head coach Rob Edwards following a comprehensive review of the season and club operations.
- The club said the review concluded a change in leadership was necessary to give Wolves the strongest sporting platform moving forward, a view voiced by executive chairman Nathan Shi.
- Wolves have reached an agreement in principle to appoint Gil Vicente boss Cesar Peixoto but must finalise terms with his Portuguese club and resolve his existing contract.
- The dismissal came just days after Wolves completed high-profile signings of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez and surprised staff and many supporters, with reports saying Edwards learned of the decision while on holiday.
- The move continues Wolves’ reliance on a Portuguese recruitment and coaching network linked to agent Jorge Mendes and signals a rapid strategic reset as the club prepares for a Championship rebuild.
