So it’s official. Rob Edwards is Wolves’ new head coach, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract at Molineux to succeed Vitor Pereira – and we want your reaction.
The 42-year-old has joined from Middlesbrough, who he was with for just over five months and leaves second in the Championship.
Edwards arrives at Wolves – a club he played 111 times for – with the side bottom of the Premier League, eight points from safety and still awaiting their first league win of the season.
He has also coached Wanderers at under-18 and under-23 level, as well as taking interim charge of the first team twice in the wake of Walter Zenga’s departure in 2016.
Edwards’ assistant head coach will be Harry Watling, who was also at Boro. Wolves says more backroom staff will be confirmed soon.
Edwards has previous experience managing in the top flight, having been in charge of Luton Town during the 2023-24 campaign, but he was unable to keep them up.
His first match in charge will be against Crystal Palace at Molineux on Saturday, 22 November, following the international break.
How do you feel about the appointment? Is Edwards the right man and can he turn Wolves’ fortunes around? What are his priorities?
