US EditionMiddlesbrough Reluctantly Let Coach Edwards Talk to Wolves After Initial Snub
Rob Edwards, who has managed multiple clubs and made over 100 appearances for Wolves as a player, is linked to the struggling Premier League club bottom of the table.
- On Friday, Middlesbrough stood down Rob Edwards for today's Championship match against Birmingham City after he missed training and had his pre-match press conference cancelled.
- After sacking Vitor Pereira last month, Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club reportedly made a formal approach to Middlesbrough on Tuesday over a potential appointment, The Independent reported.
- A former Wolves player, Edwards made more than 100 appearances at Molineux between 2004 and 2008 and briefly served as interim manager in 2016, later managing Forest Green Rovers and Watford.
- Wolves sit rock bottom with just two points from 10 matches and are eight points adrift of safety, facing tough upcoming trips to Chelsea, Aston Villa and Arsenal.
- It is thought Edwards has been on Wolves' shortlist since Pereira's dismissal, though Wolves would likely have to pay significant compensation to Middlesbrough.
